CHAPTER ONE. 

THE NEED OF A SAFE AND EFFICIENT HOME TREATMENT. 

Shown by the fact that some home practice is almost alwaj's used be- 
fore calling a physician; that very many are obljged to rely upon one 
all through sickness; that as constructed, there is serious danger that 
the nature of the disease will be mistaken; that there is great danger 
that the prescribed remedies will be misapplied; that eminent physi- 
cians confess the harmfulness of drug-dosing, even by their own hands; 
that an over-dose is detrimental and may be fatal; the Biochemic system 
only, prevents disaster in such circumstances. 

CHAPTER TWO. 

THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CELL-SALTS. 

Demonstrated by the citation of hundreds of cases of people cured by 
them, as attested in the clinical reports of physicians to physicians (i. e. 
to medical societies and medical journals, not designed for the eye of the 
people), therefore absolutely reliable. 

CHAPTER THREE. 

THE BIOCHEMIC SYSTEM OF CURE FULLY EXPLAINED. 

What disease is; what the Cell-Salts are; their properties and func- 
tions; hoiv they cure disease. 

CHAPTER FOUR. 

THE INDICATIONS OR SYMPTOMS THAT CALL FOR THE USE 
OF EACH CELL-SALT. 

All known symptoms of all diseases, so far as they relate to Biochemic 
remedies, are here classified, not by the names of diseases, for they are 
of no value, but by the functions and organs, e. g., digestion, thought, 
heat-production, etc., so that all confusion is avoided.

CHAPTER SIX. 

THE CO-OPERATIVE CURATIVES OF SCIENCE. 

When diseases become bacterial the Cell-Salts need to be reinforced 
by germicides. Which germicides are safe and efficient, and how to em- 
ploy them.

INTRODUCTION. 



The most natural as well as the most philosophical ar- 
rangement of a book for the home treatment of diseases is 
neither by the ordinary medical classifications, nor by re- 
gions as head, stomach, pelvis, etc., but by functions, 
for of what use is a head if it cannot think, or of a heart if 
it does not beat, or of a stomach if it cannot digest? 

Therefore this book is a treatment of diseases by the 
functional derangements that they exhibit, and by which 
their presence is known. 

If this new method seem inconvenient at first sight to 
the reader, he has but to glance at the Outline Plan next 
to the title page to see its comprehensiveness, symmetry 
and utility." 

And if one is at a loss to know under what function 
some symptom may be found, a moment's examination of 
the Index-Glossary will disclose it. 

Biochemistry discards as unphilosophical and unscien- 
tific the names and classifications of diseases as they are 
found in the medical text books. 

Why not then, have an arrangement of its own, based 
upon its own cardinal principles, and in harmony with its 
own use of remedies ? 

The important point to be fixed in the mind of the reader 
is that names of diseases signify nothing. 

The functional disturbance is what is to be studied, and 
to that, not to a name, the remedies are to be fitted. 

Other books lay down treatment for certain diseases 
which are to be distinguished by a few detailed symptoms, 
but as a matter of fact, the similarity between the symp- 
toms is so close, and the frequency of other symptoms that

are not named is so great, that laymen are at their wit's 
end to know just what disease to treat, and there is a period 
in the onset of febrile diseases when not a physician on 
earth can tell with certainty whether he has one disease or 
another to combat. 

All this perplexity is avoided by our method. 

A fever is a functional disturbance of the circulation, 
and should be treated as that purely and simply, without 
regard to anything that may follow. 

Of course this cannot be safely done in the use of drug- 
poisons. Prof. Alonzo Clark says, "All our curative 
agents (so-called) are poisons, and as a consequence even- 
dose diminishes the patient's vitality." But our remedies 
are reconstructive always, therefore are always safe; a 
consideration of immense moment in placing curatives in 
the hands of the people. 

Medicines have been defined by Dr. C. Wesselhoeft in 
a lecture before the advanced students of Harvard Medi- 
cal School as ''substances which if consumed by a well 
person will make that well person sick." 

According to this accepted definition the Biochemic 
Salts are not medicines. 

Very well ; why employ medicines when remedies ( re- 
constructives) are efficient to euro? The use of this book 
will demonstrate the superiority of remedies over medi- 
cines, and the utter uselessness of the latter, except as ger- 
micides in appropriate cases, as explained in Chapter VI. 

Those who recognize diseases only by their names find 
it hard to understand how one remedy can be appropriate 
for main - and dissimilar diseases. 

But when they come to see that the same condition un- 
derlies these diseases and that the true philosophy oi cure 
consists in changing that condition , then the beautiful sim- 



Introduction. 7 

plicity of the system explained in these pages becomes ap- 
parent. 

Why should two thousand medicines be needed to cor- 
rect the wrong conditions of the few elements out of which 
man is made? 

Nature is severely simple in her methods ; man is osten- 
tatiously complex in his.

CHAPTER I. 



THE NEED OF A SAFE AND EFFICIENT HOME TREATMENT. 

The general need of a safe and reliable system of home 
practice is apparent from these considerations, viz. : 

i . The fact that some home practice is almost always 
resorted to before calling a physician. It may be to avoid 
the expense of the physician's services, or the immediate 
relief of pain, or from the general feeling that " something 
ought to be done," but for some reason home efforts arc 
and will be made. Therefore it is important that they be 
rightly directed. 

2. The limited resources of families, or their distance 
from physicians in whom they have confidence, necessi- 
tates reliance upon home practice all through many sick- 
nesses, to the exclusion of all other helps. It may be a 
hard necessity, but very many, especially in thinly-settled 
regions, must combine in one person the office of parent, 
nurse and physician all through the weary, anxious hours 
of lingering sickness even to the end, be that end life or 
death. That the chances for life will be greatly aug- 
mented by a safe and efficient home practice none who be- 
lieve in the law of cause and effect can doubt. 

And common humanity strongly insists that if the end 
must be bereavement, the sufferers have the best aid that a 
reliable home system of practice can give, so that they 
may be solaced as others who employ physicians are, by 
the rellection, " all was done that could be" for recovery. 

3. Home practice as ordinarily found is fraught with 
the serious danger of the great probability that the nature 
of the disease may be mistaken, i. e., wrong diagnosis 
made. 



The Need of a Safe and Efficient Home Treatment. 9 

Medical books describe hundreds of diseases, each with 
its own peculiar symptoms, yet many resembling each 
other so closely that ordinary physicians are often unable 
to discriminate between them, and a skillful diagnostican 
(one who diagnoses or detects disease) is among the rarest 
of medical experts. That the common people should mis- 
take the disease is therefore the most probable of all prob- 
able things, and if the error does occur no one can tell the 
mischief that may result. Hence it is a common expe- 
rience of physicians to find diseases seriously aggravated 
by the mistakes of home efforts to relieve. It is therefore 
of great consequence that those efforts, if they cannot be 
free from a mistaken direc.ion, may at least escape the 
the baneful results of injurious medication. 

4. Home practice as ordinarily prescribed in books of 
home treatment is attended with the great probability that 
the remedies will be misapplied. 

If they are allophatic or eclectic, some in most frequent 
use are deadly poisons ; many are in their nature delete- 
rious, and nearly all are over-dosed. The narcotics, opi- 
ates, sedatives, stimulants, etc., most generally prescribed 
would amaze an intelligent observer were he not so accus- 
tomed to the sight. But familiarity with them does not 
change the nature of opium, chloral, nux vomica, digitalis 
or the bromides. 

Physicians deplore the uncertainty which attends the 
administration of the most deadly drug- arising from the 
variations in the proportions of their active principles in 
different preparations, e. g., opium may contain eight or 
sixteen per cent of morphine to the grain, i. e., one dose 
may be one dose, or it may be two. Belladonna contains 
atropine varying from 0.25 per cent to 0.75 per cent. 

Other drugs vary still more widely, yet the books dose 



i" Home Treatment with the Cell-Suits. 

the drug at a fixed quantity, and physicians prescribe them 
accordingly. 

But the " accidents" are attributed to other causes, and 
so the death-dealing work goes on. 

Is it likely to be any less when the same drugs are em- 
ployed in home prescriptions? 

If the medicines are homeopathic, the poisons are pre- 
scribed more frequently than the harmless agents, and if 
they have any efficiency to heal when wisely used, they 
are equally efficient to injure if unwisely employed. And 
that they must be unwiselv employed is a necessity arising 
from the complexity of the system itself. Says Dr. H. A. 
Anderson, " When we give four thousand symptoms with 
aggravations for nearly every hour of the day to a single 
drug, it is a confusion to the student and a stumbling- 
block to the experienced prescriber." 

The writer has personally examined the case of a homeo- 
pathic physician, consisting of sixteen hundred vials, each 
containing a remedy different in nature or potenev from all 
the others. Now a system that requires sixteen hundred 
remedies to treat some thousands of " indications " is cer- 
tain to have its remedies misapplied by laymen or physi- 
cians either, unless they are experts. 

It is absurd to say that " if they do no good they will do 
no harm." If they have no potency, the system is a 
fraud, and they who recommend it are abettors o\ fraud. 
If they have potenev, it is for good or ill according as it is 
wisely or unwisely applied, and the point that I insist upon 
is, that unwise application is unavoidable in the ease of all 
but experts. Therefore remedies that are harmless are a 
prime necessity tor home treatment of disease. 

To add to the certainty that serious results will be likely 
to OCCur in the home use of drug medicines is the taet that 



The Need of a Safe and Efficient Home Treatment. 1 1 

they are so generally adulterated that no certainty can be 
had of securing from the ordinary druggist the medicine 
that is ordered. As an illustration, the New York Phar- 
maceutical Association reports that "seven samples of ni- 
trous ether varied so greatly that a pint of one only equaled 
a teaspoonful of another." A manufacturing pharmacist 
sent fifty prescriptions precisely alike to fifty drug stores. 
It called for one article that all drug stores are supposed to 
keep in stock. Analyses showed that only about three of 
the fifty were correctly put up, and a large proportion of 
them did not contain a particle of the test medicine. 

They who use drugs in home prescriptions are certain 
to deal with most uncertain agents. 

5. No person who has read the Confessions of noted 
physicians relative to the uncertainty and harmfulness of 
the ordinary drug treatment of disease can doubt that a 
better system of cure is one of the most pressing needs of 
life. 

For example, Dr. Sidney Ringer, the greatest English 
authority on the action of drugs, says: "The sustained 
administration of alkalies and their carbonates renders the 
blood poorer in solids and in ?'cd corpuscles, and impairs 
the nutrition of the body.' 1 

So Dr. Wood, endorsed by Dr. W. L. Stowell, Ameri- 
can Medical Bulletin, says: "Present therapeutics is a 
mixture of science and empiricism." Also Dr. J. J. M. 
Goss, in Medical Brief, says : "Medicine lacks much of 
being a fixed science." 

"Ninety-nine out of every hundred medical facts are 
medical lies ; and medical doctrines are for the most part, 
stark, staring nonsense." — Professor Gregory, Edinburgh. 

"Medicine is a barbarous jargon, and has destroyed 



1 2 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

more lives than war. pestilence and famine combined." — 
John Mason Good, M. Z>., F. R. S. 

"Thousands are annually slaughtered in the quiet sick 
room. Governments should banish medical men and pro- 
scribe their blundering art." — Dr. Titus. Counselor of the 
Court tit Dresden. 

"The stolid bigotry which will not be enlightened and 
will not investigate is responsible for many millions of 
deaths. The gigantic errors of medical men need vigorous 
criticism by those who are not afraid to speak. — Dr. Bu- 
chanan. 

" Drugs do not act in the beneficial way they are sup- 
posed to do ; according to my reading they are so many 
poisons, and I am supported by medical books, which 
speak of the toxic (poisonous) effects of drugs. Many 
cases are made worse, or recovery is protracted by the use 
of drugs, whilst some are even killed or their death has- 
tened by the drugs themselves. " — Dr. Allinson, London. 

" Medicine is a great humbug. . I know it is called sci- 
ence. Science, indeed ! it is nothing like science. Doc- 
tors are merely empirics when they are not charlatans." — 
M. Magendie, the celebrated French -physiologist. 

"All medicines which enter the circulation poison the 
blood in the same manner as do the poisons that produce 
the disease. Drugs do not cure disease. Digitalis has 
hurried thousands to the grave. Prussic acid was once 
extensively used in the treatment of consumption, both in 
Europe and America, but its reputation is lost. Thous- 
ands of patients were treated with it, but not a case was 
benefited. On the contrary, hundreds were hurried to the 
grave." — The venerable Prof. J'os. M. Smith. M. D. 

" All our curative agents (so-called) are poisons, and as 



The Need of a Safe and Efficient Home Treatment. 13 

a consequence every dose diminishes the patient's vital- 
ity." — Prof. Alonzo Clark, M. D. 

" The medical practice of our day is, at the best, a most 
uncertain and unsatisfactory system ; it has neither phi- 
losophy nor common sense to commend it to confidence." 
— Prof. Evans, Fellow of the Royal College, London, 
England. 

" Our actual information or knowledge of disease does 
not increase in proportion to our experimental practice. 
Every dose of medicine given is a blind experiment upon 
the vitality of the patient." — Dr. Bostick, author of His- 
tory of Medicine. 

" Dissections daily convince us of our ignorance of dis- 
ease and cause us to blush at our prescriptions. What 
mischiefs have we not done under the belief of false facts 
and false theories ? We have assisted in multiplying dis- 
ease ; we have done more ; we have increased their fatal- 
ity." — Benjamin Rush, M. D., Philadelphia. 

" The drugs which are administered for the cure of scar- 
let fever and measles kill far more than the diseases do. 
Instead of investigating for themselves, medical authorities 
have copied the errors of predecessors, and have thus re- 
tarded progress and perpetuated errors." — Prof. B. E. 
Barker, M. D. 

6. An over-dose of the remedies of the systems to which 
the above citations refer produce disturbance of the func- 
tions in proportion to the dose. 

Official reports from seven European hospitals show un- 
der homeopathic treatment a mortality of 4.22 per cent. 

Official reports from five European hospitals under allo- 
pathic care give a death rate of 12.61 per cent., thus show- 
ing the beneficent effects of the least medication as com- 



14 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

pared with the freer use of drugs, even in the hands of 
skilled physicians. 

The cell-salt remedies if over-dosed or misapplied are 
simply not appropriated by the absorbents and are carried as 
waste matter out of the body with no functional disturb- 
ance. Therefore they are perfectly safe. 

NO person who is familiar with the figures showing the 
enormous sale of patent and proprietary medicines can 
doubt that the pcupk have taken the work of curing their 
countless ailments into their own hands. They buy and 
take blindly because they do not know what better thing 
to do. 

Home treatment doctor books representing all the lead- 
ing " pathies " have been sold broadcast, yet the people 
feel that the right system has not come to them yet. 

Fortunately, this can be said no longer. The Bio- 
chemic System is the most safe, scientific and satisfactory 
theory and practice of cure that the world has ever seen. 

It was not elaborated for the use of the people, and for 
thirty years has been kept from them. 

This book is the first systematic effort that has ever been 
made in the English language to adapt the system to the 
comprehension, and adjust the treatment to the use of 
those who know nothing of the sciences that are supposed 
to be a necessary part of a medical education. 

Can it be done? Unquestionably it can, for among the 
author's own patrons it has been successfully employed in 
very many instances. And why not? No acquaintance 
with anatomy, physiology, chemistry, materia medica 
(medical substances) nor therapeutics (to cure by reme- 
dies) is necessary in the home use of the cell-salts. 

Names of diseases are entirely ignored, and conditions 
only art' considered. 



The Need of a Safe and Efficient Rome Treatment. 1 5 

These conditions are not some hidden, mysterious things 
that only a doctor can discriminate, but such as the color 
of the coat of the tongue, the color and consistency of ex- 
pectoration or of a discharge, the kind of pain, i. e., shift- 
ing or steady, shooting or grinding, etc. Surely these 
matters any person of ordinary intelligence can de- 
termine positively, and with that knowledge he has only to 
ask this book what salt to use in such conditions, and it 
answers with a certainty that is as unfailing as human 
judgment can make it, and is as refreshing as it is sure 
when compared with the timid, hesitating uncertainty that 
most people feel in the use of the home doctor books and 
drug medicines of the past. 

This great fact only has but to be stated to show the ab- 
solute superiority of this practice over all others, and the 
necessity for it, because it is thus superior. 

The people ought to have the best. 



CHAPTER II. 



THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CELL-SALTS. 

There are two methods of determining this question. 

The first is the one pursued by patent medicine manu 
facturers, viz., the collection of testimonials from those 
who as patients have used the nostrums and certify to their 
value. 

The objections to this class of evidence are : 

i . The very great liability to mistake on the part "of those 
unfamiliar with diseases, and their consequent false report 
of their real condition. 

2. The nearly universal tendency of the human mind to 
make reports as startling as possible — thus leading to ex- 
aggeration. 

3. The fact that such testimonies are often influenced^ 
sometimes bought outright, and sometimes transferred 
from one article to another. 

4. The fact that no nostrum is ever found so poor in 
virtue that large numbers of testimonials are not offered in 
its favor. 

This item alone should cause the acceptance of such evi- 
dence to be considered as a very weak foundation on which 
to rest the use of compounds affecting human life. 

The other method of reaching the truth as to the effi- 
ciency of the Cell-Salts is : 

To collect testimonials from physicians who have pre- 
scribed them, and who certify their value in specific con- 
ditions to their fellow physicians, whose knowledge of the 
import of those conditions furnishes a safeguard against 
undue exaggeration, and who, by the very circumstances 



The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 1 7 

in which the testimony is given, can neither be influenced 
nor bought. 

Such evidence from professional men is the strongest 
that can possibly be adduced outside of a court of justice. 

Such is the testimony that is here cited. 

These reports are also of peculiar value as detailed ex- 
amples of the actual use of the remedies in every-day prac- 
tice, thus furnishing to the intelligent layman hints of the 
wise selection for the conditions named. 

Surely the same remedies for the same conditions can be 
no less efficient if dealt out by unprofessional hands. 

It will be observed that in some cases potences other 
than the 6x are employed. 

This is well enough for physicians, but as Schuessler ad- 
vised, the 6x should be the standard, only to be departed 
from when that obviously fails, not because wrongly se- 
lected, but because the system of the patient is incompe- 
tent to assimilate it. In most of these cases cited herein 
there is no evidence that 6x would not have done as well 
as the potency actually employed. 

The life-long habits of drug dosing have created a tim- 
idity in the use of remedies unless specifically prescribed 
by professional authority on the part of many who rely 
upon their physicians only, but such need not fear to fol- 
low these prescriptions in similar cases ; first, because 
these remedies are not poisonous ; second, because these 
reports are precisely the same kind of authority that phy- 
sicians follow in making their prescriptions, and the same 
authority likewise that is relied upon by physicians in writ- 
ing medical books, and that constitutes the foundation and 
largely the substance of the lectures to the students in 
medical colleges. 

The names of diseases are retained here both because

they are in the articles cited and to aid the reader in iden- 
tifying the conditions treated under those names. The ar- 
ticles are considerably condensed for this place. 

Abscess OF Ear. — Carrie A., age 16. Severe pain in 
left middle ear. with all the symptoms of gathering. Calc. 
Sulph., 3x, twice a day, cured in two days. — The Homeo- 
pathic News. 
• Accident. — Clara M., 7 years. Thrown and dr 
by a horse. Left arm broken above elbow in two places, 
about three inches apart ; left hand badly bruised : right 
arm and body bruised ; hoof-marks on face, right side of 
which was crushed down : head and neck swollen out an 
inch ; both eyes closed ; mouth and tongue badly swollen. 
I reached her one and a half hours after accident, and 
found her in death-like stupor. Gave Kali Phos.. 3X, 
every ten minutes, which banished the stupor. Then gave 
Kali Mur. and Ferrum Phos. alternately every fifteen min- 
utes. Set the arm under chloroform. Second day gave 
remedies every thirty minutes, and fourth day every hour. 
Steady improvement from the first, and in three weeks 
bandages were removed and she was dismissed a well girl. 
Her life was saved by Ferrum Phos. and Kali Mur. in 
large doses. — j'. C. Ferrell, M. 1). 

Acute Ailments. — In mostly all acute ailments Ferr. 
Phos. is absolutely the remedy to begin with, and if rightly 
and early enough given will cut short the disease. When 
once exudation or suppuration has taken place, it is no 
longer the indicated remedy, and we must look farther. 
Still I would strongly advise the practitioner not to change 
too quick from Ferrum Phos. to another remedy. He 
cautious in this regard. — Win. Stcinrati/, M. D. 

After Birth, Removing. — Young lady, age 27. The 
labor was normal, but as soon as the child was expelled.

the uterus contracted with walls of abdomen hard, rigid 
and conical. I used several remedies to relax, but in vain. 
At last I gave Mag. Phos., fifteen grains (three doses in 
one), in hot water. In five minutes the relaxation oc- 
curred, and the placenta came away without further diffi- 
culty. — Wm. Chapman, 31. D. 

Anaemia. — Young lady, age 17. Became greatly de- 
bilitated ; had no appetite and no ambition ; her menses 
were irregular ; absent for months, then a flow varying in 
quantity. I gave her Calc. Phos., 6x, as principal remedy, 
also at times Ferrum Phos. as well. A few months and 
she was able to resume her studies. — Dr. C. T. M. 

Anaemia. — Lizzie F,, age 16. Almost bloodless, ner- 
vous, almost strengthless, been so for months. Cured in 
five weeks with Calc. Phos., Kali. Phos. and a few doses 
of Kali. Mur.— Dr. J. C. Ferrell. 

Asthma, Chronic. — Female, married, age 42. Sub- 
ject to attacks for years ; expectoration greenish and re- 
markably copious. Natr. Sulph. every three hours. Im- 
provement began after a few doses, expectoration becom- 
ing paler and less abundant ; has felt better since than for 
years ; and one noteworthy fact is, that the expectoration 
stopped in a few doses, whereas in previous attacks it had 
continued for weeks, thus indicating that the Natr. Sulph. 
had gotten at the root of the evil. — Dr. Wm. J. Guernsey. 

Asthma, Humid. — Old, chronic cases. In one in- 
stance respiration sounded like thin boiling mush. Two 
grains of Kali. Sulph., 3X, every two and a half hours has 
given me the most surprising results. I could ask for 
nothing better. — Dr. G. W. Harvey. 

Asthma. — Young gentleman, J. G. Had been subject 
to severe attacks of asthma for several years. He tried 
Kali Phos. and Kali Mur.. and experienced relief more 



Home Treatment with the Cell-Suits. 

quickly than by any other remedy he had tried. — From 
Schuessler . 

Bed-Ridden. — Miss R.. age 24. Left bed-ridden nine 

years ago from typhoid fever. lias been treated by noted 
physicians of all schools. I prescribed Kali Mur., }x, two 
grains every six hours. Improved at once, and in less 
than one year gained thirty-rive pounds in weight, and is 
walking about without the assistance of a cane. — V. W. 
( onnor, M. I). 

Biliousness. — A case of bilious vomiting followed by 
voracious appetite, bitter taste and yellow skin. I pre- 
scribed Nat. Sulph. for the biliousness, and Kali. Phos. 
for the appetite. The second dose of Kali. Phos. relieved 
the stomach, and in forty-eight hours the skin was clear. 
This was after the quinine and pills of another physician 
had failed.—/ 1 . S. Dunham, M. D. 

Another Case. — J. W., age 56. Cutting pains in abdo- 
men, bilious stools, coated tongue, yellow eyes and skin, 
heat in bowels, worse in damp weather. Dr. H. S. Phil- 
lips prescribed Nat. Sulph., which resulted in speedy cure. 

Bites from Centipede and Scorpion. — Less than 
three grains of Nat. Mur. rubbed in with saliva on my lit- 
tle linger relieved me thoroughly in twenty minutes from 
the effects of the bite of a large centipede (live to six 
inches ) . 

In scorpion bites, I suggest Ferrum Phos. in addition to 
Nat. Mur., should Nat. Mur. alone prove insufficient. — 
Dr. C. I '. Lorander. 

Blind Spells and Headache. — Mr. B., engineer, age 
59. Blind spells, then flashy lights shooting out in rays 
and circles from one-half an hour to two hours, then an in- 
tense headache. Come from once a day to once in three 
days. Back head stiff and sore. Troubled live years. I

gave Silica, I2x, and Calc. Flour, 3X, on alternate days, 
with occasionally Nat. Mur., 3X, and he was cured in three 
months. — F. D. Bittinger, M. D. 

Bronchitis. — Lady Louisa has been subject to attacks 
of bronchitis for several winters, the first attack proving 
very serious. Ferrum Phos., a dose every hour, and a few 
doses of Kali. Phos. for exhausted condition, were steadily 
taken for a few days, and then Ferrum Phos. and Kali. 
Mur. alternately. The doctor who called to see her 
shortly after stated that the bronchial symptoms were all 
gone. — Dr. . 

Bronchitis, Chronic. — Archibald Herbert, suffering 
from chronic bronchitis, had an attack of pneumonia ; had 
been exposed to great heat and took a chill and inflamma- 
,tion of right lung set in ; high fever, distressing cough, 
deep-seated pain in right side, expectoration tenacious, 
rusty colored. Ferrum Phos. in alternation with Kali. 
Mur., a dose every half hour, was taken for twenty-fowr 
hours ; then every hour. As the color of the sputa changed 
to yellow, he took Kali. Sulph. instead of Kali. Mur., and 
as this condition was remedied Nat. Mur. and Calc. Phos. 
completed the cure in a little more than ten days. — Dr. 



Cancer of the 'Stomach. — Mrs. L., age 62, an Hebrew 
lady, came under m}" care suffering with sharp, lancinating 
pains in the stomach. External examination, cachexia, 
and all significant symptoms seemed to point to the one 
condition of cancer. In order to be sure of the diagnosis 
I took the liberty and precaution to have an examination 
made by two other physicians in whom I have great confi- 
dence, both of whom pronounced it cancer of the stomach, 
with the prognosis of course of the speedy termination of 
my patient's life. I remarked that I expected to get her

up. My constant use of the Tissue Remedies has shown 
me what I can usually expect of them, and the remedies 
used were Calc. Phos., 3X, in alternation with Kali. Phos., 
3X : a good-sized powder every three hours, until the ca- 
chexia and appearance of the face had changed to a more 
natural color, then I put her on Kali. Sulph., 6x, Nat. 
Mur., 6x, and Silica, I2x. In this order occasionally 
changing back to the Calc. Phos., Calc. Sulph., or Kali. 
Phos., as required by any change in her condition, and 
once or twice Nat. Phos. was used to quiet the pain. In 
sixty days our patient was out of bed, and inside of ninety 
days she was out on the street, feeling as w r ell as ever in 
her life. She is alive and well to-day, and there has been 
no return of any symptoms that would lead us to suppose 
the whole trouble was not cured. — F. D. Bittinger, M. J). 

Cancerous Ulcer-Epithelioma. — Wm. W., factory 
laborer. Ulcer on right side of nose as large as a twenty- 
five cent piece ; been there four years ; eye much affected : 
had been treated by two eye specialists and many physi- 
cians. Dr. S. then took the case and gave Kali. Sulph. 
twice a day and a lotion of the same. The inflammation 
disappeared in a few days and the ulcer healed in a short 
time. 

Another Case. — Miss A. D., age 20. -had a similar sore 
on the left side of the nose, and of the same size, but had 
existed but six months and its center was covered with a 
homy scab, while the surrounding parts were just ready to 
ulcerate. Dr. H. S. Phillips prescribed Kali. Sulph., ,}\. 
every four hours, and a lotion of the same applied fre- 
quently. The ulcer was cured in three weeks. 

Carbuncle. — 1 have tried all (the recommended reme- 
dies) and must say that I am disgusted with them all. 
Now when I have a case of carbuncle i need nothing more 



The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 23 

than Silica. Give this internally and apply it locally, and 
your carbuncle will absolutely disappear without that de- 
structive process which attends your incision or poultice 
methods. — Dr. L. D. Foreman. 

Catarrh of the Stomach. — My son, age 20, was con- 
fined to his bed four days with catarrh of the stomach ; had 
no appetite ; was very nervous with much pain in the stom- 
ach ; tongue coated with yellow, slimy deposit. I gave 
him Kali. Sulph., and after two doses there was a marked 
improvement, pain subsided and appetite returned. — Dr. 
C. R. Taylor. 

Chills and Fever. — Nat. Mur. endears itself to the 
heart of the physician where this is such a common ail- 
ment, as it is more potent in those cases than any other one 
remedy. — Dr. Frances McMillan. (See Intermittent Fe- 
ver) . 

Children, Imperfectly Formed. — The first child had 
a spine bifidia (cleft spine) , club feet, womb prolapsed and 
protruding an inch externally. Lived two weeks. The 
mother never had been free from backache since she could 
remember. During her next pregnancy she took Calc. 
Phos., 5X, for seven months, and Sulphur. A perfect 
child without any trouble, even in dentition (teething), 
was the result, and two more children have been born un- 
der the same treatment whose only sickness has been mild 
scarlet fever, and the mother has no more backache. — A. 
P. Macomber, M. D. 

Children, Undevelopment in. — A tall, angular school 
marm, married at forty-two, brought to me the most scrag- 
gly, skinny and starved baby that I ever saw, of the neuter 
gender, several months old — her child, and bottle fed. I 
gave Calc. Phos., 6x. Three years later she called again 
and exclaimed, kt Don't vou know me? You saved my

Life." He improved from the very day that he began 
the use of the medicine, and was then a fine healthy bov 
— J. />'. Chapman. J/. J). 

Child Birth. — Fourth confinement, youngest child 
eight years old, hard labor was expected. Gave Kali. 
Phos., 3X, night and morning for six weeks, and it was the 
easiest labor that I ever saw"— I). Russell, M. J). 

Child Birth.— I was called to see a lady a week be- 
fore confinement. Uneasy, restless, sleepless, with cutting, 
flying pains some part of each day. I gave her Kali. 
Phos. three times daily. No pain after taking the third 
dose. Labor was almost painless. Gave birth to a four- 
teen pound girl. After the placenta was removed the 
uterus did not contract readilv and hemorrhage set in. I 
gave Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Phos., 3X, nlternately every 
half hour, and in two hours the hemorrhage had ceased 
and she recovered rapidly. — Dr. M. Mclmies. 

Second Case. — A very young person, sixteen years ami 
two months; very nervous and excited; did not know 
what to expect : very much frightened. Gave her Kali. 
Phos., 3X, every fifteen minutes ; in an hour she was qui- 
eted so as to sleep about three minutes between the con- 
tractions (pains) and everything was just perfect through- 
out her lying-in. — Dr. J/. Mclnnes. 

Cholera Infantum .—Mary B., eighteen months old. 
Green, watery stools, mixed with mucous, every few min- 
utes, producing great weakness and emaciation. She 
rolled her head about as if it was too heavy : eyes half 
open ; constant moaning or starting up in sleep": pulse 
rapid: complexion of a dirty white appearance: watery 
vomit. Ferrum Phos., 3.x, in hot water, every hour for 
six or eight times, then Calc. Phos. in alternation every

hour cured the case completely in less than one week. — 
Dr. . 

Colic, Renal. — Was called to a case a few days ago 
who was suffering with most excruciating pain in the 
course of left ureter, vomiting, cold perspiration, cold ex- 
tremities, small pulse, great agon}-, spasmodic cramping 
which would draw patient almost double, almost picture of 
death. Gave Mag. Phos., 3X, five grains in hot water, fif- 
teen minutes repeated dose, the third relieved — patient was 
able to be up in less than two hours after first dose ; next 
day was able to be at place of business. Who can say 
Mag. Phos. did not relieve? — D. Russell, M. D. 

Constipation. — My twin brother wrote me in regard to 
his son, six years old. For the last year it has been almost 
impossible for him to have an action. Fecal matter would 
become impacted until it could not be passed without great 
pain. Had been so for over a year and under the doctor's 
care for months, but no better. I put the child on Silica, 
and after taking it live weeks he has had no further trouble. 
— Dr. L. D. Foreman. 

Cough, Spasmodic. — Two cases. Worse at night und 
on bying down or breathing cold air ; better sitting up ; 
tightness of chest. One had spurting of urine when cough- 
ing. Both promptly relieved by Mag. Phos. — Dr. F. W. 
Southworth. 

Cough. — Mrs. B. caught cold, and it had settled on the 
lungs. Cough constantly, short, dry, inflammatory, hack- 
ing, and with considerable pain in the lungs. Gave Nat. 
Mur., 6x, and in less than an hour the cough had disap- 
peared entirely and did not return. Ferr. Phos., 6x, and 
Nat. Mur., and in two davs soreness in chest gone. — Dr. 
y. B. Chajyman . 

Cough with Emissions of Urine. — A lad)- who was 



26 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

suffering from a cough which caused great inconvenience, 
as with every cough there was emission of urine. Ferrum 
Phos. cured her speedily. A short time ago the lady, un- 
der similar circumstances, was again troubled with a cough. 
Ferrum. Phos. this time also cured her speedily. — Dr. 
Fisher . 

Cramp Colic. — A stout man. age 45. florid, a high 
liver, doubled up with terrific cramps from eating heartily 
of boiled cabbage and ice cream on a hot day. Had such 
attacks frequently, and the wife said. " Nothing but mor- 
phine ever does John any good. Colocynth and other 
remedies failed. Then I gave Mag. Phos., 6x, in hot 
water every twenty minutes. The first dose relieved, and 
after the third he fell asleep. — Dr. Frances McMillan. 

Cramps. — Mrs. M. R. S., age 61, severe cramps in 
bowels. Mag. Phos., four grains in hot water every half 
hour, relieved after two doses. — M. F. Richards, M. I). 

Cramping and Drawing Pains. — An experiment tried 
by Dr. G. L. Freemeyer was in his own case. He could 
find no remedies to relieve his cramping pains. Took 
seven doses of Mag. Phos., 2x, and has " not had a pain 
since." Result : " I now have a full set of the tissue ( Bio- 
chemic) remedies, and prescribe them every day with good 
results. 11 

Champs, Menstrual. — Mrs E. L. B. suffered with se- 
vere crampy pains at her periods. 1 used the biochemic 
remedies freely along with other treatment, and particu- 
larly Mag. Phos., 3X, a little before and during her period. 
She passed through without a particle of pain, and was so 
surprised and gratified she could not find words enough to 
express her thanks for the treatment received — Dr. M. 
F. /.'. 

CROUP. — If taken in time, Ferrum Phos. anil Kali. Mur. 



The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 27 

is all that is required. A gargle of Kali. Mur. is very- 
beneficial, when practicable. — Dr. . 

Croup, Membranous. — Severe case. Treatment was 
Ferrum Phos., 3X, twenty grains dissolved in one-half 
glass of water, a teaspoonful every half hour or an hour, 
as case demanded. I did not try to reduce the fever at 
once — as I think fever is one of our best friends in disease. 
The little patient had a very dry, distressed breathing, 
what might be called a " spongia cough." For this I 
knew that the fibrin must not be allowed to remain in the 
diseased parts ; consequently I used twenty grains of Kali. 
Mur. to one-half glass of water, and ordered teaspoonful 
given every seven, fifteen or twenty minutes as was needed 
to keep him in a nice breathing condition. I used a table 
napkin squeezed out of cold water and changed on his neck 
as soon as it got warm. This cured the worst case of mem- 
branous croup I have seen in twenty years. — Dr. G. F. 
Dougherty . 

Croup, Membranous, — One of my children is subject 
to membranous croup, and Kali. Mur., 3.x, always controls 
it better than anything I have ever given. — Dr. L. D. 
Foreman. 

Croupy Cough. — Five powders of Kali. Mur., 2x, 
cured a case that had been under allopathic and eclectic 
treatment (five) days. — G. L. Frcciueyer, M. D. 

Croup, Spurious. — D. R., a boy of seven years, who 
took spurious croup whenever there was a sharp, keen, 
northeast wind, having had, a few years before, a very se- 
vere attack of true croup, this autumn had again an attack 
with fever and a loud, barking cough. I gave every two 
hours a full dose of Kali. Mur. After a few doses the 
cough became loose, lost completely the barking sound, 



28 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

and the following morning my patient was able to get up. 
— D. Schuessler. 

Cystitis (inflammation of bladder). — This is a very fre- 
quent trouble, and one that has given me no small amount 
of anxiety, until I began the use of the Tissue Remedies. 
In the treatment of cystitis I find in asthenic conditions 
with prostration, frequent urination with excessive secre- 
tion of urine or passing of blood in the urine, Kali. Phos. 
is the remedy in the 6x ; it will not disappoint you in a 
single case. When we have retention and frequent desire 
to urinate with spasmodic conditions, drawing and pull- 
ing sensation, I would advise you to give Mag. Phos. 
with confidence. I have been using the Schuessler Tis- 
sue remedies for a number of years in these affections and I 
find them first-class in every respect. — G. F. Dougherty, 
M. D. 

Decline. — Gertie I, age 18. ki Languid, listless, stu- 
pid, tired all over, poor appetite and menses every two 
weeks," was her mother's description. Fever, dry, coated 
tongue, backache and suspected typhoid also. Gave Bap- 
tisia three days, no better. Gave Gels, with same result. 
Then gave Calc. Fluor., and the change was to me mar- 
velous in its suddenness and completeness. — //. S. Phil- 
lips, M. D. 

Delirium Tremens. — Speedily cured by Nat. Mur. — 
Walker. 

Diarrhea, Army. — An old soldier afflicted with spells 
of it ever since the war. Was reduced to skin and bones 
almost, no appetite, seemed like the last call. A few days 
treatment with Nat. Mur.. 6x, made him feel as if he had 
been resurrected.— D. L. Hurd, M. D. 

Diarrhea, Infantile. — Child. v ^ weeks old, screaming 
with pain ; green, slimy discharge. The pains were soon 



The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 29 

relieved with Mag. Phos. and the discharges arrested by 
Nat. Sulph.— D. L. Hurd, M. D. 

Diarrhea and Fever. — Child, 18 months old, tem- 
perature 104 , pulse 130 , face flushed, nerves excited, 
eyes staring, great thirst, frequent green, slim)- evacua- 
tions, vomiting, pain in stomach and abdomen. Ordered 
one grain of Ferr. Phos. and Mag. Phos. every thirty 
minutes in alternation. Began to feel relief from the first 
dose, was sleeping nicely in two hours and rapidly recov- 
ered.— W. E. Kinnett, M. D. 

Diptheria. — Under the regular treatment was so severe 
that the physician in charge gave up all hope of recovery 
and another physician was called. He gave Ferrum Phos. 
and Kali. Mur. and the case recovered. This is only one 
case of several that I can mention where the Tissue Reme- 
dies have most nobly asserted themselves. I believe that 
Biochemistry is yet in its infancy, and when it is under- 
stood and used by all I cannot help thinking and sa}dng, 
Oh ! what will the harvest be?— Dr. A. P. Bctts. 

Diptheria. — Miss H., age 16. High fevei , rapid 
pulse and soreness in throat and upper part of chest ; both 
tonsils covered with a white exudation about the size of the 
ball of the thumb : tongue white ; restless, sleepless, etc. 
Prescribed Ferrum Phos. and Kali. Mur. in alternation 
every hour, and a gargle of Kali. Mur. to be used fre- 
quently. Improvement was immediate and a good re- 
covery was made in four or five days. — Dr. y. B. Chap- 
man. 

Diptheria. — October 16th Master S., a bright, schol- 
arly boy of 14, pain in back of head, temperature 102+. I 
deferred diagnosis, but gave Ferrum Phos. for the fever. 

Oct. 17th. Symptoms all worse ; gray spots on both ton- 
sils, and diptheritic odor. Diagnosis : diptheria. Pre- 



30 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

scribed ten grains each Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Mur., 3X, in 
two glasses half full of water ; a teaspoonful every half 
hour, alternately. 

Oct. 18th. Great extension of membrane to both tonsils 
and uvula. Remedies as before, and in addition twenty 
grains Kali. Mur. in a tumbler of water for gargling every 
three or four hours. 

Oct. 19th. Tonsils and uvula thickly covered with dark. 
cadaverous-smelling membrane, which had also invaded 
posterior nares. Gave Ferrum Phos., Kali. Mur. and 
Kali. Phos., alternately, every half hour. 

Oct. 20th. Hoarse, croupal cough and great difficulty in 
respiration, showing that membrane had descended into the 
larynx. Membrane protruding from both nostrils, which 
exuded a thin excoriating ichor. Total inability to breathe 
through nose. Patient had several attacks of epistaxis 
(nose bleed) during night. Unendurable stench from 
mouth. For the nose bleed I put thirty drops of Crotalus 
Hor., iox, in water, and gave a teaspoonful three or four 
times. Remedies: Kali. Mur., Kali. Phos. and Calc. 
Phos. 

Oct. 21st. Several attacks of nose bleed; no improve- 
ment except that there was little fever. Remedies as be- 
fore. Added to the gargle one-third alcohol. The boy 
used this freely, as he found it helped breathing. 

Oct. 22d. Membrane beginning to soften and peel off 
from the anterior portion of the tonsils. But little epistaxis 
to-day. Continued remedies. 

Oct. 23d. Marked improvement ; patient spit out large 
sloughs of membrane. Continued remedies. 

Oct. 24th. Great improvement: no more nose bleed; 
boy able to breathe a little through left nostril ; though he 



The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 3 1 

spit out a great deal of dark membrane, there is still plenty 
in trachea. Remedies as before. 

Oct. 25th. Tonsils, uvula and la^oix, as far as visible, 
clean ; no bleeding of surfaces ; both nostrils free ; still 
hoarse and talked with difficulty, but respiration easy. 
Remedies : Kali. Phos. and Calc. Phos. 

Oct. 26th. Patient practically dismissed ; when he got 
up he had paralysis of vocal chords and very great asthe- 
nopia, but Kali. Phos., 2 gr. four times a day for a couple 
of weeks restored them to the normal condition. 

On the fifth day of this boy's sickness his sister, six 
years old, was taken with the same disease. Ferr. Phos. 
and Kali. Mur. were all the remedies she took, as her at- 
tack was not so violent. I had eight other cases in the im- 
mediate neighborhood : none were virulent ; all treated 
and cured with Kali. Mur. and Ferr. Phos. There were ■ 
quite a number of deaths under "regular'' treatment. — 
Dr. A. C. Davis. 

Diptheria. — In fourteen cases of diptheria the bio- 
chemic measures left nothing better to be desired, Kali. 
Mur. rapidly making a change ; the whitish-gray exuda- 
tions being diminished, shriveling and coming away with 
the gargle and mouth-wash made with Kali. Mur., also oc- 
casional doses of Ferr. Phos. The treatment worked 
splendidly. In three cases the patients labored under pros- 
tration from the first, and Kali. Phos. had to be given in- 
ter currently ; in two cases Nat. Mur. alternately with Kali. 
Mur. , the chief remedy. In the latter cases there existed 
considerable running of saliva, heavy drowsiness and wa- 
tery stools No secondary affection resulted, such as fre- 
quently arise under ordinary treatment : as paralysis, de- 
fective vision or neuralgia. — Dr. Walker. 

Diptheria. — Son of H. T. L. Malignant diptheria,

temperature 104. pulse 140. Ferr. Phos., 3X, every hour, 
and Kali. Mur., 6x, every hour. Two days later kidneys 
involved. Calc. Phos., 3X, in rotation with the other. 
Temperature 99, pulse 100, throat nearly clean. Dropped 
Ferr. Phos. and Calc. Phos. and gave Kali. Mur.. 3X, and 
Xat. Mur.. 6x, and the next day discharged the case cured. 
— S. M. Kessler, M. J). 

Displacements, Uterine. — I have made a specialty of 
this disease (displacement) for a number of years, and my 
experience is. that the judicious use of Biochemic reme- 
dies, combined with the nightly replacing of the uterus, 
will give better satisfaction than any other system known. 
— Dr. y. B. Cha-pman. 

[His method of replacing is very simple, is accomplished 
by the patient unaided, and with a slight improvement is 
as follows, viz.. After retiring, take the knee-chest posi- 
tion, i. e., resting on knees with chest on the flat bed, not 
on pillow, with both hands draw the bowels forward, then 
insert one forefinger into the vagina and press up against 
the perineum (the tissue between the vagina and anus) 
thus tilling the vagina with air, which will operate as a 
cushion or tampon. Then gently lie down on the back if 
the displacement is forward, on the chest if it is backward, 
and with the foot of the bed elevated on blocks eight 
inches if it is downward. Turn to any natural position 
when tired. Do this every night, and if practicable at a 
forenoon and afternoon rest also ; certainly at one rest time 
in the day. To strengthen the ligaments, take Calc. Fluor 
four times a day, and during two to six of the most active 
hours of the day wear a pledget of cotton saturated with 
Calc. Fluor — ten doses to the ounce of soft water — pressed 
up against the uterus and held in place by dry sterilized 
wool packed in the vagina, but not uncomfortably full. 



The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 33 

Calc. Phos. and Kali. Phos., one dose of each one to three 
times a day in uncomplicated cases, as constitutional and 
nerve tonics. Other salts if indicated by complications. 
Keep bowels soft with' colon flush of hot water three to 
seven times a week] . 

Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation). — Young lady, 
age 20, had been' troubled every month since puberty with 
almost unbearable pains in uterus, back and loins, begin- 
ning several hours before the flow and continuing two 
days. The second day hysterical fits came on, and on the 
third relief from pain. I found her almost mad with pain. 
Gave Mag. Phos. every ten minutes, and in an hour the 
pain ceased. Ordered two doses a day for three days. 
The next month ordered three doses the day before the 
period and every three hours the first day. Had but slight 
pain. Repeated the same prescription the third month ; 
no pain, and none since. — Homeopathic World. 

Dysmenorrhea. — Patient in bed, pains seemed unbear- 
able. Had been troubled so every month. I gave Mag. 
Phos., repeated in half an hour. In a short time she was 
easy.— D. Russell, M. D. 

Dyspepsia, Fermentive. — Nat. Phos., 3X or 6x, in fer- 
mentive dyspepsia will control it better than any one drug. 
—Dr. L. D. Forenian. 

. Ear Pain. — Mrs. B. had much swelling and redness 
and very severe pain of middle left ear. Gave Mag. Phos. 
and Ferr. Phos. that night with no good result. Next 
morning changed to Calc. Sulph., 3X, and the second dose 
gave relief, and in twenty-four hours the redness and swell- 
ing were gone. — Dr. D. Russell. 

. Ear Troubles. — I think it is the best remedy in the 
Materia Medica in diseases of the ear — Kali. Mur. In 
chronic catarrhal conditions of the middle ear, noises in

the ear, snapping sensation, deafness or earache from 

swelling of the eustachian tube, and cracking noise on 
-wallowing or blowing the nose, with aurists of all schools 
it is a standard medicine. — Dr. Wm. Steinrauf. 

Epileptic Convulsions. — A girl about 16 years of age. 
Convulsions began when menses first appeared, and harder 
and more frequently in spite of all remedies, until she' had 
them several times a da}*. My wife prescribed Calc. Phos. 
and Kali. Phos. in alternation. She took them, and never 
had but one convulsion after that, fully regained her 
health and is now stout and strong. — Dr. C\ JV. Cramer. 

Erysipelas of Face. — I have treated three very pro- 
nounced cases of erysipelas of the face and head with Ferr. 
Phos., one grain ever}- hour, and a cloth wet in a solution 
of the same constantly applied. Also used internally Nat. 
Sulph. I was surprised at the ameliorations of the disease. 
The cures were more rapid than by any other treatment 
that I have ever used. — Vv. E. Kinnctt. M. D. 

Erysipelas of Arm and Face. — H. B.. age 60, bruised 
left arm near elbow. Five days later pain and burning set 
in. On the seventh day when I was called, found arm ex- 
tremely inflamed and swollen, and by scratching it and his 
nose it had been transferred to the face. Xat. Sulph. and 
Kali. Mur. alternately every two hours. Fourth day itch- 
ing and pain gone, redness nearly gone, place scaly. 
Changed to Kali. Sulph. every three hours, and on the 
sixth day of treatment was well. — H. G. Merz^ M. D. 

Eyes, Inflammation of. — Little Etta B., age 2. Tin- 
ball almost a scarlet red, considerable pain and great intol- 
erance of light. Ferr. Phos. quickly relieved, and the 
third stage, with discharge of thick yellow matter. Calc. 
Sulph., alternated with Ferr. Phos., satisfactorily removed. 
—Dr. J. B. C.

Felons. — A dressmaker had a felon on right thumb. 
Ferr. Phos., I2x, every three hours promptly cured it as 
she thought, but much use caused its reappearance in three 
days with greatly increased pain and swelling. Kali. Mur. 
finished the cure at once. — Dr. J. C. Morgan. 

Feet Sweating. — A. J., age 16, had been troubled 
with foot-sweat for two months ; could wear his stockings 
only one day, and at night would be wringing wet ; the 
odor was something awful ; his shoes became so saturated 
with sweat, and the odor was so foul, that, when he took 
them off at night, one could scent them in any part of the 
room, and even in adjoining rooms ; his feet became sore 
and tender. I gave Sil., 3X, a powder three times a day. 
In a week his feet began to show signs of improvement, 
and in a short time were completely cured. — Chironian. 

Fever, Intermittent. — Mr. H., age 27, had chills 
every third day from 9 to 1 1 a. m., with violent headache, 
great thirst, followed by fever from about 1 p. m. to eve- 
ning, accompanied by great lassitude, increased headache 
and thirst, profuse, sour-smelling sweat, and loss of appe- 
tite. Twelve powders of Nat. Mur., 6x, failed to relieve. 
Then gave three powders of Nat. Mur., 200X, one every 
other night. Cured in two weeks, and no return of dis- 
ease in eight months. — Dr. C. R. J'ogel. 

Another Case. — Mrs. M., age 32. Sanguine tempera- 
ment, nervous and irritable. Chilly all the time, but worse 
about 3 A. m. ; great hunger ; fever at its height about 2 
p. m. ; intense thirst ; short, difficult breathing and profuse 
perspiration Silica, 6x, a powder night and morning for 
one week cured. — Dr. C. R. Vogel. 

Fever, Intermittent. — Nat. Mur. will cure more 
cases of intermittent fever, both acute and chronic, espec-

Medica — Dr. Burt. 

Fever, Typho-Malarial. — Wm. II. , age 25. Tem- 
perature 103. 4 , pulse 99. Gave Ferr. Phos. and Kali. 
Phos. alternately every hour. Third day temperature 
103 , pulse 80. Gave the remedies every two hours. 
Fourth day temperature 101 , pulse 80. Three days later 
temperature suddenly rose to 103°. Gave the remedies 
again every hour for three days, when it was under con- 
trol. Four days later he came to my office as well as ever 
in his life.—//. G. Jfcrz, M. D. 

Fever, Typho-Malarial. — Johnnie L., age 8, treated 
the first week with Baptisia ; second week, Ferr. Phos. al- 
ternated with Kali. Phos. ; fever gone on the twelfth day. 
Relapse three days later, cured in five weeks by Ferr. 
Phos. and Kali. Phos., with an occasional dose of Calc. 
Phos., with no hemorrhage, and very rapid convalescence. 
— John M. Reid, M. D. 

Fever, Typhoid. — Mrs. B., age 25. Had been sick 
two weeks, and given up to die by two prominent allo- 
pathic physicians. Had been kept on boiled milk for ten 
days. She begged for grapes and pears. I gave them as 
almost her sole diet for the next week. For her watery 
discharges every few minutes I gave Nat. Sulph. Kali. 
Phos. for weakness, emaciation and typhoid condition. 
Ferr. Phos. for fever, from one-half to one hour apart. 
When stools changed, gave Kali. Mur. Improvement be- 
gan at once, and she made a perfect recovery. — Wm. 
Chapman, M. D. 

Gall-Stone Colic. — Mrs. T., age 36. A paroxysm 
every other night for six months ; getting worse ; one to 
two hours of agony each time ; breathing hard and tight : 
face red and swollen : extremities clammy : pulse slow.

Allopathic physicians gave morphine hypodermic injec- 
tions and wanted to operate surgically. I gave Mag. 
Phos., 2x, dissolved in hot water as a hypodermic injec- 
tion three times, and Nat. Mur., 6x, in teaspoonful doses 
every five minutes for an hour, then every half hour until 
she slept. The next day Kali. Mur., 6x, and next Nat. 
Mur. This day she had a light attack, which was stopped 
by one hypodermic of Mag. Phos. Three days later was 
threatened with another, which was warded off by simply 
keeping feet in hot water. No return of the disease,"" but 
continued the medicine about two months. — F. D. Bitten- 
gci\ M. D. 

Gum Boil. — Lily, 6 years old, had an ulcerated tooth 
with a well-developed gum boil. Gum boil would not go 
away, and wishing to see what the Tissue Salts would do 
for it, I gave her a Christmas present of a box containing 
about 125 tablets of Calcarea Sulph., 3X. They should 
have lasted her ten days or more, but they were sweet, and 
so the box was gone in three days. And so was the gum 
boil and ulcerated tooth. Neither have troubled her since. 
In this you will perceive a first-class recommendation for 
the Biochemic Tablets. They are pleasant to take. An 
old German lady once said to me respecting them, " These 
are the bestest pills I ever took." — Dr. M. F. Richards. 

Headache. — A lady subject to this affliction. Fre- 
quent ; worse in damp weather ; apt to occur the day after 
her weekly washing of clothes ; comes on gradually in 
morning and lasts all day. Symptoms : Hard, pressive 
aching with occasional heat in vertex ; markedly better on 
lying down ; vertigo on suddenly turning the head. I ad- 
ministered one dose, a five-grain powder of Calc. Phos., 
6x, dry on the tongue, and the headache entirely disap-. 
peared in half an hour. — Dr. A. E. Barrett.

Headache. — A rush of blood to the head, with a fiery 
red face, often vomiting, and is worse on stooping. Ferr. 
Phos. cured — //'///. Stemrauf, A. M.. M. D. 

Heart Pains. — Miss M. was seized with excessive 
pains of the heart, so severe that she lost consciousness. 
Under treatment the pains were somewhat mitigated, but 
remained severe at times for twenty-four hours. Magnes. 
Phos. gave entire relief with a few doses. A little soreness 
remained, but Ferrum Phos. cleared it up in a few hours. 
— Dr. . 

Heart Pangs. — I was called one night to see Capt. 
G , age 56, who was suffering severely with heart trou- 
ble. I found him with very weak pulse — forty-two beats 
to the minute — sharp, darting, intense pain< in the heart, 
so that he breathed with great difficulty. I mixed him 
Kali. Phos., 6x, in hot water. Immediately thereafter he 
began gulping spasmodically. Magnes. Phos., 6x, stopped 
it at once — he not making one single gulp after taking the 
remedy. Under Magnes. Phos. and Kali. Phos. in alter- 
nation the pulse rose from forty-two to sixty-four in ten 
minutes. The pains ceased, and he made a most rapid re- 
cover}*. Magnes. Phos. has frequently proven itself one 
of the best anti-p.sin and anti-spasmodic remedies known 
to the medical world. It not only does the required work 
promptly and effectually, but is entirely -harmless, leaving 
no train of after effects. — Wm. Chapman. M. I). 

Hemorrhage from Lungs. — The blood was bright red 
and coagulated almost as soon as discharged. Gave Ferr. 
Phos., 2x, rive grains every half hour. Results good. — 
The Homeopathic News. 

Hydrocephalus, to Prevent. — A mother whose hus- 
band had old-fashioned, main - years lasting consumption, 
had lost four children with hydrocephalus. I recom-

mended Calc. Phos., 5x, during the next pregnancy. She 
took.it from the seventh week until her confinement. The 
bones of the child's head were more perfect than those of 
his body. In eighteen months, another fine healthy boy 
was added to the family, she having taken the same treat- 
ment during pregnancy. After my first call to the dying 
fourth child, I was the physician of the family for ten 
years, but was never called for the two boys but once. The 
father died two years after the birth of the second. — A. P. 
Macombcr, M. D. 

Incontinence of Urine. — Three cases have been com- 
pletely relieved by the use of Silica — Dr . . 

Insanity, Occasional — Miss M., daughter of Dr. M., 
had suffered for several years from occasional attacks of 
insanity, which grew worse until it was thought necessary 
to send her to an asylum. A friend interposed and urged 
the trial of the Biochemic remedies. Kali. Phos., four 
doses a day, were given for weeks, and completely cured 
her. Several cases of a similar nature, two of them puer- 
peral mania, have been treated with equal success. — 
Schuesslcr . 

Influenza, — Mr. R., age 26. Bookkeeper; perfectly 
well in morning ; about 10 o'clock very tired and weak ; 
considerable sneezing and much lachrymation, with thin, 
watery discharge from nares. Temperature the following 
two days was 103 to 104. Great soreness of muscles, se- 
vere backache and bone pains, and pain in throat up to ear 
when swallowing. I prescribed the usual homeopathic 
remedies, Gelsem. and Euper. Per., but did not get any 
perceptible results. Discharge now a profuse, greenish 
mucous, with much accumulated in throat and mouth. I 
then prescribed Nat. Sulph., 6x, every hour, about five 
grains at a dose. The result was striking. In a few hours

he felt so much better that it was with difficulty he was 
kept in the house. The following morning he- went to 
work, and has not been troubled any more with influenza. 
— Dr. II. La D erne. 

Indigestion. — Child 10 years old under doctor's car. 
i wo weeks without benefit. Had indigestion from over- 
study and worry, with brown tongue. Kali. Phos.. ^.\. 
every hour started her on the road to recovery at once. 
Appetite returned in twenty-four hours. Well in four 
days.— Dr. M. F. R. 

Inflammation of the Mastoid Cells — Mr. F.. age 
30 years, had what he called neuralgia, located posterior 
to the left ear, pain constant of a cutting, darting nature. 
I called it inflammation of the mastoid cells, and gave him 
Ferrum Phos., 3X, and Silica, 4X, cautioning him to see 
me when the medicine was out. After a few days he said 
he was all right and needed no further treatment. Then 
in fifteen days he came back with a swelling as large as an 
orange, very painful and hard to the touch. I gave him 
Ferrum Phos. and Silica as before, and in a little over a 
month he was sound and well. — Dr. E. Jas. Milwain. 

Intermittent Neuralgia. — Mrs. S., age 49. Inter- 
mittent neuralgia ; lost rest several nights. I gave Mag- 
nes. Phos. in hot water every five minutes : pain gone in 
twenty minutes. — Dr. M. H. White. 

Labor. — "In labor, when the pains are too weak and 
irregular, 1 have seen nothing act more promptly ami 
effectually than Kali. Phos."— Dr. E. II. Holbrook. 

LaGrippe — Influenza. — All cases treated by me with 
Nat. Sulph. were free from any evil after-effects whatever. 
The after-effects in cases treated by other physicians with 
other remedies were cured by this salt. — Dr. Schuessler. 

LaGpippe. — Carrie M.. a<je 16. Profuse discharges

from the nares (nostrils.) Pains of a rheumatic nature, 
involving the muscles of the limbs and joints ; chilly, 
with high, continuous temperature ; tongue coated white ; 
great depression ; felt as though she had been sick for 
months. Kali. Mur. 3X, every two hours, cured in three 
days. — Dr. Chas. F. Wright. 

LaGrippe. — I have found that Nat. Sulph. will serve 
the greater number of cases, and have received wonder- 
ful results from its use. both at the beginning and when 
followed by sequelae (effects of the disease) .—Chas. S. 
Vaught, M. D. 

Laryngitis and Tonsilitis, Acute. — Mr. P., age 50, 
an old soldier, voice husky and hoarse, cough irritating 
and painful, nearly croupy, dry, much pain in larynx and 
throat, and constriction of upper chest, tonsils dark red, 
much swollen, filled with ulcerations, pulse 100, tempera- 
ture io2t. Gave Ferr. Phos. 15 grains in one-half glass 
of water, a teaspoonful every hour. In 24 hours the 
fever was gone, in two davs tonsils clean and in four days 
from the first dose he resumed business. — J. Ferris, M. D. 

He also details the case of Mrs. D., quite similar to 
the above, cured in three days by the same remedy. 

Leucorrhea — Minne S., age 17, suffered with an 
acrid, albuminous, tenacious leucorrhea, worse after peri- 
ods. Gave Calc. Phos., 3X, every four hours, and every 
other day a douche of non-alcoholic Calendula. Cured 
in a short time — The Homeopathic News. 

On May 30th I was called upon to prescribe for a little 
girl four years of age. Since birth she had been troubled 
with a very offensive vaginal discharge. Many physicians 
had been employed, but had entirely failed to benefit the 
case. The discharge was very profuse — yellow, " like

sulphur" — the mother explained — fcetedodor — and caused 
rawness and soreness wherever it touched the flesh. 

Her appetite was poor — bowels constipated, and there 
were symptoms of worms, although none had been seen. 
I prescribed Kali. Sulph. and Nat. Phos., 15 grains, in a 
glass half full of water, taken by small sips during the 
day ; the Kali. Sulph. one day and the Nat. Phos. the 
next, and so on. After one month's treatment the child 
was no better, and I began to think that I should go the 
way of my predecessors. 

I now made a more thorough examination, and discov- 
ered there was a syphilitic history on the mother's side. 
On examination the teeth plainly showed the disease. 

I now changed the treatment to Kali. Mur. 3X, and as 
there were still worm symptoms the Nat. Phos. 3X was 
continued. I also gave intercurrent doses of Calc. Phos. 
6x on general principles. I gave medicine enough for 
two weeks, and as tzvo months went by and I heard noth- 
ing more of the case, I supposed that another physician 
was trying his hand at it. What was my surprise last 
night when the mother c;rme to pay her account and re- 
ported that the child was entirely well — " not a drop of 
discharge" — no worm symptoms — in fact every abnormal 
symptom gone and the child well and happy. 

I am inclined to give the credit to the Kali. Mur., as- 
sisted by the Calc. Phos., but still, one cannot say posi- 
tively that the other remedies did not assist — but this I do 
know for certain : that one or more of these four bio- 
chemic remedies were responsible for the cure, as nothing 
else was given. — Dr. J. 2>. Chapman. 

Malaria. — T. W., an old sailor, cutting pains in abdo- 
men and left hypochrondriac region. Bilious stools, 
worse in damp weather, heat in bowels and rectum, gas-

trie derangement, coated tongue, yellow conjunctiva, sal- 
low skin. Had suffered from malaria in former years, 
and now resides on the river bank, a low, damp, mias- 
matic region. 

Had prescribed for him several times before receiving 
the tissue remedies without avail. I prescribed Natrum 
Sulph. The result was speedy and most satisfactory. 
That was four months ago, and he informed me yester- 
day that he has been free from pain ever since, and never 
felt better in his life. — Dr. H. S. Phillifs. 

Menorrhagia (Excessive menstrual flow). — Mrs. A., 
aet. thirty-four ; profuse menstruation of bright red blood 
every three, sometimes every two weeks, lasting from five 
to six days. Small, thin, anaemic ; face pale ; during the 
menstrual period just the reverse — face livid, ofttimes of a 
fiery red, with much heat and burning. Blood coagu- 
lates as soon as expelled from uterus, clotting in the 
vagina. Vomits everything she eats ; debility. Ferr. 
Phos. every two hours during the period, and night and 
morning for a week. This treatment was continued for 
about three months, when the flow became more normal, 
her complexion better, and she began to feel stronger and 
much improved in every way. — Dr. . 

Menstruation Delayed. — In young girls with flushed 
cheeks, headache and backache, so happy have been the 
results of use of Ferr. Phos. that it is almost the first 
remedy I think of in such cases. — Dr. Frances McMillan. 

Menstruation — Painful. — For the cramping in pain- 
ful menstruation Mag. Phos. has given me more satisfac- 
tion than all the Blue Cohosh and Pulsatilla I ever gave. 
— Dr. L. D. Foreman. 

Menstruation — Painful. — Young lady, age 18, had 
painful periods for five years. Her screams could be heard

two blocks away for nearly two days. Ferr. Phos. and 
Kali Phos. were given in alternation. The next period 
was nearly free from pain, the second quite free, and all 
other bad symptoms fast disappearing. — y. B. Chapman, 
M. D. 

I had a call from a lad}' who was the wife of an allo- 
path. Said she: "Doctor, I suppose you think it very 
strange for me to call on you for treatment when you 
know my husband is a physician, and practicing medi- 
cine also ; but, Doctor, I am troubled with painful and 
scanty menstrual periods, and I almost die every month, 
and I guess I would if it were not for the Morphine that 
the doctor gives me to numb the pain. I have met so 
many of my ladv acquaintances and heard them say that 
you gave them relief so quickly, I resolved to pick up the 
courage and call on you for some medicine for that par- 
ticular difficulty ; but you will do me a great favor by 
keeping this a secret, so that rriy husband won"t get hold 
of it." 

And I promised to do so, and I shall, unless he by 
chance should read this article, and if he should, I think 
it might set him to thinking and he would drop the Mor- 
phine and try the tissue remedies instead of making light 
of them. — G. L. Frecmycr, J\f. D. 

P. S. — Gave her Kali. Phos. and Ferr. Phos., which re- 
lieved her. Has been all O. K. ever since. 

Necrosis (Rotting of bone). — A lady had some teeth 
removed by a dentist, and instead of getting better, grew 
worse, and there was a continual discharge from the 
cavity. The gum around the bone was purple and offen- 
sive. I gave her Silica and Calc. Fluorica, 6x. In less 
than two months the discharge had entirely ceased, and 
she was much better. — Dr. Farrington.

Nervousness and Irregularity. — Mrs. K., age 32, 
very nervous, emaciated, weak, poor appetite, constant 
worry, menses profuse every fourteen days, acrid secre- 
tions, and cold and numb extremities; Cured in four 
weeks by Kali. Phos. and Calc. Phos. — Dr. H. P. 

Neuralgia of Uterus and Ovaries. — In such cases 
Mag". Phos. gives almost magical relief. — Dr. Frances Mc- 
Millan. 

Neuralgia. — Miss Margaret S., suffered from neural- 
gia, true nerve fibre pain darting through her head along 
the nerves. She had suffered intermittently for three 
days. Two doses of Mag. Phos. cured her completely. — 
Dr.— 

Neuralgic Headache. — Mrs. K had a slight 

hoarseness, but otherwise did not feel indisposed. She 
began her spring house cleaning rather early, worked in 
cold rooms, and what with the cold, dust, and hard work, 
was taken one afternoon with a high fever, accompanied 
with a severe headache. She took Ferrum Phos. and 
Kali. Mur. alternately in three grain doses every hour, 
and also several hot foot baths, and at night a cathartic 
pill. In the morning fever gone, but headache remained ; 
when standing, head seemed too full, ached on top, and 
all around base ; heat to the head seemed more relieving 
than cold. I took from twelve to eighteen tablets each of 
Kali. Phos., Nat. Phos. and Mag. Phos., dissolved them 
in two-thirds of a glass of water, and told her to take a 
teaspoonful every fifteen minutes until all was taken, or 
she felt relieved. In five hours headache was gone, and 
she was up and around the house. I should add that she 
took a hot foot bath and kept a hot water bag to her 
feet. — Dr. M. F Richards. 

Night Sweats. — Mr. P., a teamster, broad-chested,

strong and healthy, would wake in the night and find 
himself drenched with sweat. I gave him Silica, 6x, five 
or six grains morning and evening. A week later, and 
the sweats had left him and did not return. — Dr. 

Non-Assimilation. — Old man about 60. Dyspepsia, 
the doctors said. Emaciated, pale, swarthy : no appetite : 
restless ; bowels inactive ; stools sometimes light-colored, 
and at times costive ; tongue thickly coated with a brown- 
ish yellow tinge ; bitter taste ; conjunctiva a blueish white : 
skin wrinkled and bowels retracted and shrunken, shriv- 
eled, and a pain in the stomach of a burning character af- 
ter eating ; and from the general character of the case, as- 
similation was greatly at fault. The man had been, and 
was at that time, taking Argentum, in pill form, from a 
" regular," three doses a day, and had been for a year or 
more ; all to no purpose, except to hasten the emaciation. 
I at once put him on Nat. Sulph., 6x, three doses a day be- 
fore meals, and Kali. Phos., 6x, as a nerve remedy. These 
two remedies perfectly cured the •' ' dyspepsia ' ' and all the 
other troubles, so that in about three weeks he was a well 
man, the Nat. Sulph. correcting all the liver and stomach 
troubles, and the Kali. Phos. building up the nerve forces. 
— Dr. A. P. Davis. 

Orchitis (inflammation of testicles). — Mr. J. Caused 
by chafing from riding bicycle. Right testicle about four 
times normal size ; pulse over 100 ; Movement caused pain. 
Ferrum Phos., 6x, and Kali. Mur., 3X, alternately every 
hour. A cold sitz bath at 75 degrees, three times a day. 
for one minute, and return to bed without thoroughly dry- 
ing. In three days was able to be up by using a suspen- 
sory, and in one week all right. — M. F. Richards. M . D. 

Pain in Back, Cough, Etc. — A lady had pain in her 
back clear across just below the shoulder blades for several

months ; also nervous, pain in lower lobe of right lung, 
and worrying cough. I prescribed Fe'rr. Phos. and Kali. 
Mur. with Calc. Phos. intercurrently. This removed the 
cough and soreness of lung, but the pain in back was worse. 
Learning that she had had a severe mental strain, I then 
placed her upon Kali. Phos., 3X, twenty grains in a glass 
half full of water, a teaspoonful every hour (equivalent to 
five grains an hour. S. H. P.) . This was repeated each day 
for a week, when her pain was entirely gone. — Dr. J. B. C. 

Paralysis. — Mr. J. D., age 70. La}' as if dead, with 
whole right side paralyzed. Gave one grain of Kali. Phos. 
every hour. In a few weeks was up and around, and con- 
tinues rapidly improving, seven weeks after attack. — W. 
E. Kinnett, M. D. 

Paralysis, Facial. — Henry K., age 24. Right side of 
face paralyzed ; walked with shuffling gait ; hands and feet 
cold, and would occasionally shake as if with palsy. Kali. 
Phos., 3X, and Calc. Phos., 3X, in alternation every three 
hours for two weeks, then Kali. Phos. alone. In three 
months is nearly cured. — Dr. C. R. Vogel. 

Paralysis of the Vocal Chords. — A young lady 
about 18 years awoke one morning, found that she could 
whisper only, otherwise she didn't think there was any- 
thing wrong with her. She consulted her physician, but 
received no help. After this I saw her. She didn't whis- 
per, but sometimes spoke hoarse. I gave Kali. Phos., 6x, 
about five grains in six spoonsful of water, to be taken 
every day. The second day improvement began, and 
soon had her voice again. — Dr. Wm. Lenz. 

Pemphigus (blisters on the skin). — A baby, age 10 
months. Watery blisters covering all the genital region, 
and extending down the thighs and up as far as the navel, 
which were of various sizes, from that of a pea to a large

walnut. Upon breaking them they discharged a thin, 
watery, colorless fluid, and after collapsing left a dry but 
inflamed scar. A considerable itching, but otherwise 
health as usual. I prescribed Nat. Mur , 6x, fifteen' 
grains dissolved in twelve teaspoonsful of water Dose : 
One teaspoonful an hour apart, while awake. The blis- 
ters stopped coming, those present dried up and only scars 
remained. — Dr. J. B. C. 

Peritonitis and Ovaritis, Chronic (inflammation 
of ovaries and lining membrane of the abdomen) . — Mrs. 
E., age 38, had suffered thus many years. For a severe 
aggravation, Dr. G. H. Martin gave Ferr. Phos. every fif- 
teen minutes for two hours, then every hour for several 
days. She then removed, but after two years has never 
had the slightest symptoms of her old trouble. 

Piles. — Wm. S., age 28. Troubled for some years 
with bleeding piles, constipation, pressure of blood to head, 
flushes of heat, tongue mapped or covered with a grayish 
white coating. Calc. Fluor., 3X, and Kali. Mur., 6x, in 
alternation every four hours, with an ointment of Calc. 
Fluor., 2x, one-half ounce to vaseline two ounces, and ap- 
plied locally every night completely cured him in a few 
weeks. — The Homeopathic Nczvs. 

Pneumonia. — The worst case that I ever saw was re- 
lieved beautifully in a few hours after the best selected 
remedies had failed for days, by Ferr. Phos. There was 
complete consolidation of the left lung and of the lower 
lobe of the right with a strong tendency to complete of the 
right : temperature 103 to 104 ; most rapid pulse, and 
an agony of pain and rapid respiration. The fever left 
and the pulse steadied in a few days. Suppuration en- 
sued, for the Ferr. Phos. was not administered early

enough to prevent it, but he made a good recovery. — Dr. 



Pneumonia. — Robert R., a stout plethoric Scotchman, 
age 30. Intense inflammation of lungs, high fever, tight- 
ness of chest, labored breathing, dry skin, racking cough 
without expectoration, aching all over and a beating head- 
ache. Ordered hot sponge bath, hot injections, spice bag 
to chest, and Ferr. Phos., 3X, and Kali. Mur., 3X, four 
tablets (one grain) every hour alternately. The day af- 
ter the cough was loose with abundant white expectora- 
tion streaked with blood, perspiring, aching and soreness 
gone. These were the only remedies used, and the cure 
was rapid and thorough. — J. Ferris, M. D. 

Pneumonia. — I gave to a case of pneumonia Ferr. 
Phos., and could see the patient improving in ten minutes 
after the first dose. — Dr. II S. Philli-ps. 

Pneumonia. — A printer, 25 years old. Found him two 
days after attacked ; pulse 120 ; temperature 104.5 ; great 
pain in left lung, and an unusual amount of bloody expec- 
torations. Prescribed Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Mur., one 
grain each every twenty minutes. Five days later, tem- 
perature 98. 8°, pulse 68 ; no pain, and wanted food. No 
other remedies or external applications. — W. E. Kinnctt, 
M. D. 

Rheumatism. — All the joints of lower extremities very 
much swollen, very painful with slightest movement. Se- 
vere cough; tongue coated white; pulse 130 ; tempera- 
ture 1 04.5 °. I gave him Mag. Phos. and Kali. Sulph. in 
alternation every hour. In a short time discharged him 
cured. — Dr. J. H. Hoag. 

Rheumatism — Acute. — A young lady about 18 years 
of age, bed-ridden for a week with Angers and hands badly 
swollen and very tender, and feet inflamed. Pulse hard

and full, tongue white, poor appetite, restless, great weak- 
ness and disturbed sleep. I prescribed Ferr. Phos. and 
Kali. Mur. in alternation, and Nat. Phos. intercurrently 
(/. e., occasionally), and Kali. Phos. at night. Two days 
later pains had left, swelling much less, sleep good and 
rapidly improving. Then she was told that it was wrong 
for a Christian to use medicines — should rely upon faith 
alone. I was called again a week later. She had re- 
lapsed, and in addition to the worse return of the former 
symptoms, she had a severe cough, with albuminous ex- 
pectoration, and water gathering around her heart. Or- 
dered the same treatment as before, with the addition of 
Nat. Mur. In twenty-four hours the gurglings about the 
heart had almost entirely ceased, the pains and swelling 
greatly improved, and she made a rapid and satisfactory 
recovery. — Dr.J.B. C. 

Rheumatism. — A burly German lying under two blank- 
ets and a feather bed, two feet thick. Intense pain for a 
week from near the hip to the foot, limb numb as from 
paralysis. Had not slept in three nights. Ferr. Phos. 
6>, and Kali. Phos. 6x, four doses, in two hours and he 
slept. Scarcely any pain during the night. Treatment 
continued, and he made a quick recovery. — ■/. B. Cha-p-

Rheumatism, Inflammatory. — Mrs. S., age 72. Had 
not walked a step in over a year, and been treated by six- 
different physicians. Had to be rolled on bed in sheets, 
and would scream at any attempt to touch her. Could 
not move right arm or hand, only slightly some of" the 
fingers. I put her on Mag. Phos. and Kali Mur.. :\. 
and in a few months her only trouble was a little pain in 
stormy weather. Walks about and uses the arm as well 
as the other. — G. L. Frcoiic\C)\ M. D.

Rheumatism, Muscular. — Dr. Schlegelman was at- 
tacked while traveling by rail, pains very severe in right 
side. Bryonia and electricity failed. A single dose of 
Ferr. Phos. cured as if by magic. 

Rheumatism of Joints — Edward B., age 12, pains in 
all the principal joints, but mostly in elbows and wrists, 
which were red and swollen, and he had some fever. 
Gave him Ferr. Phos. dissolved in one glass, and Kali. 
Mur. dissolved in another, to be taken alternately, every 
two hours while fever lasted, then continue Kali. Mur. 
alone. In a few days he was able to be out. — Dr. 

Rheumatism from Getting Wet. — Robert D., age 
34, lives on the bank of the lake, and. frequently got wet 
while fishing or shooting. He had pains about him for a 
year or two at times, sometimes in one joint and then in 
another. I gave him Kali. Sulph., several powders, one 
to be dissolved in water, a dose four times each da}'. In 
a few weeks his trouble was completely cured. — Dr. 

Sciatic Rheumatism. — A case of sciatic rheumatism 
that baffled the skill of two old school physicians all win- 
ter I cured with Mag. Phos., 3X, and Ferr. Phos., 2x. — 
Dr. D. Chiffcr. 

Sciatica. — A lady had been suffering for two weeks 
with an intense pain, extending the entire length of the 
sciatic nerve of the left leg : slightest motion would cause 
cramping in leg, such as to make patient cry out. Gave 
powder of Ferr. Phos., 3X, and Mag. Phos., 3X. Third 
day patient was much better, only slight pain. On the 
sixth day said she never felt better in life ; no pain what- 
ever ; was able to be up all the time and help about house 
work. I could not do without Tissue Remedies. — D. 
Russell, M. D. 

Semi-Blindness, Amblyopia. — Dr. F. S. McKibbon,

when 17 years old, became suddenly so nearly blind that 
with his best eye he could read a little with difficulty, not 
at all with the other. All objects were distorted and 
parts invisible. This continued, notwithstanding the best 
treatment that could be found, twenty-four years. Then 
Dr. T. J. Dean suggested the use of Calc. Fluor, 3.x, once 
a da}'. In two months he could read with his poorest 
eye, and ten months later his sight was nearly perfect. — 
Dr. J. B. Chapman. 

Simulated Angina Pectoris. — Had been treated in 
vain for ten years by other physicians. Short, darting, 
spasmodic pains. Yielded at once to Mag. Phos., 6x. — 
C. B. Claff, M. D. 

Skin Troubles. — Don't forget this remedy doctor. 
Kali. Mur. , when treating skin troubles of all descrip- 
tions. I use pounds of it every year. — Dr. Wm. Stci)i- 
raitf. 

Sleeplessness. — A lady suffering with a uterine tu- 
mor had had no sleep at night for three weeks. I gave 
two powders of Kali. Phos., each fifteen grains, and di- 
rected her to take one at bed time, and the other in an 
hour, if the first did not produce sleep. She slept after 
the second powder, and I saw her to-day, four days later, 
and she says she sleeps splendidly. — Dr. 

Soft Chancre. — I have cured two cases of syphilis, 
(chancres, soft ulcerous, sloughing sores). They were 
as rotten cases as could well be outlined, and Kali. Mur., 
2x, and Nat. Sulph., 2x, were the principal remedies, and 
all that was used, except in the one case that was so bad 
that she could not swallow anything but liquids for two 
days. 1 gave her a few doses of Kali. Iodatum, 2x. Her 
teeth were so loose you could have picked them out with 
your lingers. I suppose I would have succeeded just as

well in the treatment if I had not used the Iodide, but in 
writing articles to go out before the profession I think we 
should be honest with each other, and give the truth, the 
whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The above men- 
tioned cases had passed through the hands of two of the 
old school of our city, and now look better and made a 
more rapid recovery than I was ever able to do before, 
although I have had quite a large experience in this line 
for the past twenty years. — G. L. Freemeyer, M. D. 

Sore Throat, with White Patches and Fever. — 
My little girl had a fever with sore throat and white 
patches in it. I gave her Kali. Mur. on going to bed at 
night, and the next morning she was much better, and 
the patches were all gone. A few doses completed the 
cure. — Dr. I. L. Peebles. 

Spasms, Muscular. — Dr. A. L. Monroe says that Mag. 
Phos. is doing noble work for him in the treatment of the 
agonizing pains that accompany these spasms. 

Spinal and Stomach Troubles. — Mrs. G. S., age 48. 
Morning frothy vomiting, excruciating pain in stomach, 
headache, melancholy, sleepless, with suicidal tendencies 
and two very sore spots on the spine. Wished to die. Many 
doctors had failed to give relief. Dr. T. E. Williams put her 
upon Nat. Mur. in the morning, an hour later Kali. Phos. 
Next hour, Nat. Sulph., and so on in alternation during 
all waking hours. Nat. Mur. was changed to Mag. Phos. 
when the lightning-like pains occurred in the head. She 
was perfectly cured in fifteen weeks. 

Stomach. — Burning in after eating, lasting till next 
meal time ; tongue light gray ; no thirst, bad taste nor 
tenderness ; bowels regular : sleep disturbed. Nat. Phos. 
cured — Medical Era. 

Stomach Sickness. — Sudden attacks of deathly sick-

ness, coming on at no particular time, even in sleep, and 
lasting one-half or one hour: appetite poor. Ferr. Phos. 
cured, and appetite became ravenous. — Dr. Rune. 

Stutterng. — A little girl, age four years, just recov- 
ered from convulsions, but was left with an impediment 
in her speech, which grew upon her. Her mother told 
me it dated from the time when she had the convulsions. 
I gave her Mag. Phos., 3X, a small dose four times a day. 
and one dose of Calc. Phos., 6x, in the evening. In three 
weeks she is entirely free from stuttering, except when 
excited or angry. I am continuing the remedies and 
hope to cure completely. — Dr. — • 

Summer Complaint. — Teething children prostrated 
with vomiting and diarrhea, eyes half closed, inclination 
to roil the head, are often helped by Mag. Phos. when 
other remedies fail. — Dr. Francis McMillan. 

Sundry Diseases. — I have used the Tissue Remedies 
(cell-salts) since 1874. Have had some very severe cases 
of LaGrififc this winter, but the worst have not lasted 
longer than one week. One of congestion of lungs with 
hemorrhage. Checked the hemorrhage in six hours, and 
the patient entirely recovered. Another had been under 
allopathic treatment four weeks with constant fever. 
Within three days after I was called her fever left, and at 
the end of a week she was about the house. — Dr. W. II. 
Mar can. 

Prof. Wm. Steinrauf savs to his brother physicians : — 
Doctor, study well Nat. Mur. In gastric troubles it an- 
swers a great purpose ; indigestion with vomiting of 
clear, frothy water, or stringy saliva, waterbrash, water 
comes up the throat, longing for salt food, aversion to 
bread. In constipation when arising from want of mois- 
ture ; excessively dry stool producing fissure and burning

pain in the rectum. In chronic skin disease you can't do 
without this remedy. In eczema from eating too much 
salt. This salt is indicated when your patient emaciates 
whilst he is living well ; all exudations and secretions are 
transparent, slimy, like boiled starch. We often find that 
this medicine does good work with such patients that are 
ahoays better at the sea-shore. When children, especially 
during summer complaint, have emaciated necks. When- 
ever a patient tells me, no matter what the trouble, that 
his or her backache is relieved by lying on something 
hard, this remedy is given. In chronic rheumatism of the 
joints it finds a place. In follicular -pharyngitis, espec- 
ially after our old school neighbors have been swabbing 
the throat with nitrate of silver, give Nat. Mur. and cure 
the patient without further delay. Thrush with much sal- 
ivation, it cures. Blisters, like pearls around the mouth, 
cracks in the lips, eruptions on the chin very often call for 
this medicine. In headache it finds a prominent place. 
T.he headache is what you might call a hammering head- 
ache, generally worse in the morning. Headache of 
school girls. I use it very much in old nasal and pharyn- 
geal catarrhs with loss of smell and taste, chronic catarrh 
of bloodless patients. These are but a few of the many 
conditions in which I have successfully used Nat. Mur. 
according to Schuessler. 

Suppression. — Clara V., age 17. Typhoid fever two 
months ; discharged bv physician with total suppression ; 
ankles swollen, perfectly useless and contracting muscles 
of knees so drawn that the joints formed right angles, and 
told that she would probably go into consumption. Dr. 
J. C. Farrell then took the case and gave Kali. Mur., 3X, 
every hour, and in just seven days her menses came on 
normally after seven months cessation. He then gave 



56 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

Calc. Fluor., Calc. Phos., and Kali. Phos., and in two 
months she could walk ten blocks and back. 

Suppurations. — Young lady, age 16. Right foot fear- 
fully swollen and discharging excessively. The doctors 
said the foot must be amputated. Knee joint bent at a 
right angle. The mother reported the case to Dr. Schues- 
sler, who ordered Silica once a day. Three months later 
the patient walked to see the doctor with foot almost en- 
tirely healed. 

Another Case. — Orphan girl, age 14. Bone disease of 
foot. Time fixed for amputation. Dr. M. D. W. ordered 
Silica every hour and lotion of same on lint. So much 
improvement in five days that the operation was aban- 
doned, and in a short time she was entirelv cured. 

Swellings. — L. P. P., face swollen as large as a goose 
egg on left side. A year before had lost three weeks of 
time and paid his doctor $20 for treatment of a jaw injured 
in that place by the extraction of a tooth. I prescribed 
Calc. Sulph., three or four tablets every hour, and to stop 
work and go home. But he continued at work, and three 
days later reported, " I never saw the like of that in my 
life. I continued work, but took the medicine every hour, 
and before 10 o'clock the swelling was going down, and 
the next morning it was all gone. — Dr . II. S. Phillips. 

Svphilj s.^JLady, aged 50, with syphilitic ulcers on 
back and lower half of right leg. The left leg had had 
ulcers all around it just above the ankle. At this time it 
had one so deep that splinters of bone have been dis- 
charged, and another on which the flesh was hanging 
loose. The odor was something dreadful. Had suffered 
a hundred deaths with them. Been treated by every doc- 
tor in the county. Could not lie down, and could not 
sleep, except propped up with pillows. I gave Kali. Phos., 



The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 57 

Ferr. Phos. and Silica for two weeks, when she could lie 
down and sleep. I then added Calc. Sulph. three times 
daily. The ulcers on back and right leg are now entirely 
cured. The flesh on the left leg has become firm and one 
ulcer healed, and she is well in every way except the re- 
maining ulcer. Will report as to it. To one and all I 
would say, Try the "Twelve Manner of Fruits" (cell- 
salts) for the •' Healing of the Nations. 1 ' — Dr. Wm. Mc- 
Innes. 

Tape-worm. — A boy, age five years, had spasm, and 
been treated by several physicians without benefit. After 
using Nat. Phos. 3x, for six weeks three times a day, 
he passed four feet three inches of tape-worm, much to 
the astonishment of all interested. It is believed the en- 
tire worm passed, as there was no evidence of an}^ re- 
maining. Nat. Phes. is especially efficient in cases of pin- 
worms. — Dr. A. C. Kimball. 

Tape-worm. — The characteristics of this case were : 
Great lassitude in forenoons, very sleepy in the early part 
of the night, sleep soundly until 4 a. m., when he would 
be awakened by keen-cutting pain in the bowels.and diar- 
rhoea, which would keep up for about three hours, and 
end in extreme prostration. After eating a little break- 
fast diarrhoea would cease, and patient would feel better 
until late in the afternoon, when he would be the same as 
in the morning. This kept up with great regularity until 
Nat. Phos., 3X, was taken. The next seance brought 
with it results in the shape of a twenty-six foot tape- 
worm, and the commingled emotions of surprise, disgust, 
and satisfaction of the patient, who had been unable up 
to that time to diagnose his case. Recovery was rapid. — 
Dr. JV. O. Brcnizcr. 

Teething. — Child, 18 months old, had cut but two 



58 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

lower lateral incisors, and the molars of lower and upper 
jaw. Thin, poorly nourished, " pigeon-breast " chest ; 
hard to learn to walk, general lack of osseous develop- 
ment. Gave Calc. Phos., 3X, three times a day, thirty 
powders, corrected nourishment. Did not see the case 
again in three months, when I hardly recognized my 
scrawny patient, now a strong, healthy child. Had all 
the incisors, the molars and the ''stomach'' teeth were 
beginning to show. Continued treatment as before. 

Teething ■ — Child, 18 months old ; hot skin ; cheeks 
highly flushed ; sparkling eyes ; pupils dilated, and ex- 
treme restlessness and irritability. Ferr. Phos., 6x trit., 
in water every hour. The first dose had a decided quiet- 
ing effect, the child going to sleep shortly after taking it. 
and the cheeks becoming much less flushed. A few rep- 
etitions of the remedy entirely removed all the dental 
irritation. — Dr. Wilde. 

Toothache, Odontalgia. — Lady, face fearfully swol- 
len, no sleep for two nights, great pain. Ordered one 
grain of Mag. Phos. every half hour. Pain gone in two 
hours, and the swelling soon subsided. — IV. E. Kinnett, 
M. D. 

Toothache. — A young married lady, severe neuralgia 
and toothache for several days. Cocaine, morphine and 
other drugs had all failed, and she was almost crazy with 
the pain. I gave Mag. Phos. and hot fomentations, but 
she grew worse. Calc. Pho*. gave no better results. I 
then asked her to try cold water on the tooth, and rinding 
that it mitigated the pain I gave Ferr. Phos. for in (lamed 
nerve, and in half an hour she was asleep, and by con- 
tinuing the remedy she recovered. — /. />. Chapman, 
M. D. 

Transmitted Disease. — A little girl of three years.

with glands of neck swollen to the size of a hen's egg- 
Also glands under the arms and in the groins were greatly 
swollen, and had been more than a year Pale, anaemic, 
had cut teeth slowly, very constipated. Her mother when 
pregnant, had incipient consumption, but when the child 
was born, she was left healthy and strong. I prescribed 
Calc. Phos. and Silica, and occasionally Calc. Fluor, 
for the hardness of the glands, and after several months, 
she was perfectly cured. — -J. B. Chapman, M. D. 

Typhlitis (Inflammation of the coecum and vermi- 
form appendix). — Charles M., age 18, found in bed suf- 
fering intense pain and vomiting large quantities of green- 
ish substance ; pulse 125, with a temperature of 104 F. I 
found a large tumory swelling situated in the right illiac 
fossa. It was of a deep, reddish, inflammatory hue, and 
so tender and sensitive that the patient would hardly al- 
low me to touch the parts. My diagnosis was typhlitis, 
and well advanced at that. Vomiting was persistent. I 
placed in a glass two-thirds full of water thirty grains of 
Nat. Sulph., 3X, and ordered to • be given one teaspoon- 
ful of the solution until vomiting would be arrested, which 
took place at 10 p. m., or nine hours after I first saw the 
patient. I now discontinued Nat. Sulph., and placed the 
patient on Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Mur., thirty grains of 
each, dissolved in two separate glasses, two-thirds full of 
water; gave one teaspoonful alternately every hour. In 
a few days the swelling began to disappear. The medi- 
cine not given as often as before. His recovery in the 
end was good. — Dr. T. E. Williams. 

Ulcerated Sore Throat. — Symptoms high fever, 
rapid pulse, pain all over, sore throat with swollen tonsils, 
and deep, ragged, white ulcers, and very offensive breath. 
I gave Ferr. Phos. for the fever and inflammatory con-

ditions ; Kali. Mur for white tongue and ulcers, and a 
gargle of the same used frequently. This has been suffi- 
cient in all cases to insure a quick recovery. — Dr. /. B. 
Chafman. 

Ulcerated Tooth and Gum Boil. — Lillie, 6 years 
old. I gave her about forty doses of Calc. Sulph.. 3X, 
which should have lasted her ten days or more ; but she 
took them all in three days, and was perfectly cured in 
that time. — M. F. Richards, M. D. 

Urination, Fkequent and Painful. — In women, the 
attacks coming on suddenly, constant urging, with little 
relief, of nervous origin ; 1 have used Mag. Phos.. with 
most satisfactory results. — Dr. Frances McMillan. 

Urine, Suppression of. — A man 100 years old, that 
came under my care. This man had been sixt}- hours 
without any water passage. He had taken during the 
time about six ounces of Nitre, besides a large quantity 
of melon-seed and cuckleburr tea. 

When I was called I used the catheter and drew off a 
little more than one pint of blood. The next morning I 
drew oft another pint of pure blood . I gave remedies to con- 
trol the hemorrhage from the kidneys, but it did not stop 
it. The same day, at night, I drew oft' another pint. 
There was also a spasmodic contraction of the neck of 
the bladder, which I knew would have to be overcome 
before he could pass anything. The next morning I drew 
off another pint, making two quarts in all. I prescribed 
Ferr. Phos., 3X, about tour grains in a cupful of water. 
Of this I directed a teaspoonful every hour. I visited 
him again at night and the bleeding had all stopped. He 
was able to pass a few drops of urine. I then changed 
to Mag. Phos., 3x, and the next morning he could pass 
water quite freely. Then inflammation of the small intes-

tines set in with watery vomiting. The bowels were 
swollen very much, and were very tender. Constipation 
was present, with loss of appetite. I commenced the use 
of Nat. Mur„, 3.x, and Kali. Phos.. 3X, in alternation every 
hour. Twelve hours sufficed to control that trouble, and 
to finish up the case I put him on Kali. Mur., 3X. every 
two hours. I consider this a remarkable case in view of 
the age. — Dr. A. K. 

Urine, Incontinence of. — Mrs. M., age 34, suffered 
from incontinence of urine for three years ; origin un- 
known. Ferr. Phos., 6x, four times a day gave relief in 
a week, and cured in four weeks. — Dr. 



CHAPTER III. 



THE BIOCHEMIC SYSTEM EXPLAINED. 

In order to an adequate comprehension of this system of 
cure, we must know — 
i. What Disease ("not at ease") is. 

To disabuse the mind of the reader of the life-long no- 
tion that disease is some entity to be expelled or to be 
killed, is one of the most difficult tasks of Biochemic 
teachers. 

In order to make the subject plain we will premise that 
there are two, and only two classes of disease. The first 
is primary, the other secondary. The primary consists of 
those departures from health which are the immediate re- 
sult of the lack of a sufficient supply of the organic blood 
foods, i. e., albumen, sugar and fat, or of the inorganic 
blood foods, i. e., the twelve cell-salts, or of water or of 
oxygen. 

The lack of any one of these seventeen elements of or- 
ganic life, to the extent that tha! deficiency interferes with 
and prevents its proper function in the animal body, is 
primary disease . 

The one chief characteristic of all primary disease (by 
whatever name it may be called in medical books) is that 
it is curable simply by the supply of the deficient element. 

The next important characteristic of all primary disease 
is that it is always liable by bacterial germination or inoc- 
ulation to become secondary. 

The chief characteristic of secondary disease is, its cura- 
bility depends upon the two-fold process of supply of the 
deficient el on en I and the destruction of the bacterial inra- 



The Biochemic System Explained. 63 

ders by germicides in all cases in which the white blood 
corpuscles (which are the physiological germicides) are 
unable to annihilate them. 

The objection may be made, that according to this state- 
ment hunger and thirst are primary diseases. 

The answer is, So they are the instant they reach the 
extent of disturbance of the functions which food and 
drink normally sustain. Up to that point they are simply 
nature's signals for relief before damage is inflicted. 

It is very questionable whether there are any diseases 
that are not first primary and easily curable in that stage, 
for science has demonstrated that the leucocytes (white 
blood corpuscles) of perfectly healthy blood have the 
power to overmaster all forms of bacterial invasion. 

Pure blood is that which contains the twelve mineral 
constituents in. the right proportion. Microbes cannot 

LIVE IN SUCH BLOOD. 

The question arises here, naturally, why should defi- 
ciency of these salts ever occur? Answer: A failure to 
procure a sufficient amount of the proper kinds of food 
cuts the supply of cell salts off' at the fountain, or if dis- 
ease already exists, poor digestion or assimilation may 
waste even an adequate supply in the food. Again, some 
great excess of heat or cold, or some sudden and severe 
electrical change may make an unusual demand upon the 
blood and partially exhaust its supply too rapidly to be 
immediate^ restored by the food. So locally the circula- 
tion may be mechanically obstructed and thus have the 
same effect as if the food were inefficient, or as if diges- 
tion and assimilation w^re defective. Likewise cold, 
heat, overwork (mental or physical) or exhausting elec- 
trical changes may, in a limited area, produce the same 
result that an overdrain upon the blood does generally. 



c>4 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

It is with cell life just as it is with water drops turning- a 
wheel, each drop does its work in passing over the wheel 
then is gone, becomes dead to it, and other drops follow, 
and the wheel continues to turn by the constant succession 
of the drops. Suppose that the molecular movements of 
the water are so changed that it becomes steam, then dis- 
turbance occurs at once in the motion of the wheel be- 
cause it is not adapted to the new form of molecular mo- 
tion, and is out of harmony with the motive power. 

So disease is molecular motion of the cell salts out of 
harmony with the motive power, i. e., the life force, be- 
cause of a diminished quantity of one or more of the cell 
salts. 

It would be just as sensible to sledge off the flanges or 
buckets of the wheel to cure it, as it is to introduce into 
the human system agents that do violence to its organism. 

All that the wheel wants is water instead of steam. All 
that the body wants is enough of the cell salts to change 
their molecular motions into harmony with the life force 
and evolve new cells according to its own type of creation 
instead of a lower. 

Disease is not therefore an entity, a poison, a something 
to be killed or expelled by the use of dangerous substances 
supposed to have an innate hostility to it, in the interests of 
humanity ; it is simply a privation. It is true that after a 
time chemical products may be formed from the defective 
vital processes that may have a very positive and harmful 
effect, but these are results of disease, not disease itself. 

Then if effects need attention let them be antidoted upon 
precisely the same principles that the chemist does in his 
laboratory, always bearing in mind the different condi- 
tions which vitality imposes. 

" We no longer should dose man as a ivhole to cure him, 



The Biochemic System Explained. 65 

but we should strive to interpret the nature of the cells 
forming his tissues, their activities, their reactions to drugs 
and physical treatment, and we should minister to these 
microscopic individuals or aggregations with a view to in- 
crease their natural functions in the prevention of disease, 
or create activities of this character." — Dr. Paul Paquin. 
There are but twelve primary abnormal conditions, 
though they may be called by a thousand names, and 
these twelve conditions are cured by the twelve cell salts. 

2. What the Cell-Salts are. 

If an animal body be burned, the ash that remains is 
its indestructible mineral elements. 

These are eight in number, viz: Potassa, soda, lime, 
magnesia, iron, fluorine, sulphur and silica. But in the 
body — 

The lime combines with phosphorus, sulphur and fluo- 
rine, into three compounds, viz : 

Calcarea Phosphorica=Calcium Phosphate, i. e., Phos- 
phate of lime. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Calc. Phos. 

Calcarea Sulphorica= Calcium Sulphate, i. e., Gypsum, 
Plaster of Paris. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Calc. Sulph. 

Calcarea Fluorica=Calcium Fluoride, i. e., Fluoride 
of lime, Fluor. Spar. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Calc. Fluor. 

The -potassa combines with phosphorus, sulphur and 
muriatic acid, into three compounds, viz : 

Kali. Phosphoricum=Potassium Phosphate, i. e., Phos- 
phate of potash. Cell Salt abbreviation, Kali. Phos. 

Kali. Sulphuricum= Potassium sulphate, i. e., Sulphate 
of potash. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Kali. Sulph. 

Kali. Muriaticum= Potassium chloride, i. e., Chloride 
of potash. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Kali. Mur. 



66 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

The soda combines with muriatic acid, phosphorus and 
sulphur into three compounds, viz : 

Natrum Phosphoricum=Sodium phosphate, i. e., Phos- 
phate!.ot soda. Cell-Salt abbreviation. Nat. Phos. 

Natrum Muriaticum=Sodium Choride, i. e., common 
salt. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Nat. Mur. 

Natrum Sulphurica= Sodium sulphate, i. e., Glauber's 
salt, sulphate of soda. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Nat. Sulph. 

The magnesia combines with phosphorus into one com- 
pound, viz : 

Magnesia Phosphorica =Magnesium phosphace, i. e.. 
Phosphate of magnesia. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Mag. 
Phos. 

The iron combines with phosphorus into one compound, 
viz : 

Ferrum Phosphoricum=Ferri phosphas, i. e.. Phos- 
phate of iron. Cell- Salt abbreviation, Ferr. Phos. 

The silica remains uncombined. 

Silica, i. e., Silicious earth, pure flint or quartz. Cell- 
Salt abbreviation, Silica. 

Therefore the Cell-Salts (mode of preparation of which 
will be explained a little further on) are to supply the 
deficiencies of these compounds, not merely of their 
eight mineral bases. 

These always exists in certain definite proportions in 
healthy human blood ; therefore they are natural and 
friendly to the system, while the remedies of all other 
schools are unfriendly to the body, and it is the effort of 
nature to expel them that produces their physiological 
action. 

3. The Physiological Properties of the Cell-Salts, 
and their Particular Functions. 

As employed in Biochemic practice, unlike most drug 



The Biochemic System Explained. 67 

medicines, they are neither very sweet nor sour, nor bit- 
ter, cathartic, diuretic, nor stimulating, but summed up in 
a single sentence, their properties are assimilative of the 
organic elements, sugar, fat and albumen. 

The body and all its fluids are made of the Cell-Salts 
and water as inorganic constituents, in combination with 
the three organic compounds, sugar, fat and albumen. 

But, though these may be in close juxtaposition, there 
can be no body-building without the mysterious life-force 
to originate and guide the process. This life- force acts 
upon the Cell-Salts, producing vital molecular movements 
in them, depending in character upon the quantity of the 
Salt acted upon, just as a certain number of vibrations of 
light produce yellow and another number shows as red. 

These vital molecular movements reveal themselves as 
affinities for organic substances. Each Salt has its own 
particular affinity, one for fat, another for sugar, another 
for albumen. These affinities thus set in play by the life- 
force, effect a chemico-vital union of each Salt with its 
appropriate organic mate, thus forming the cells, which 
are the base of all animal structures, and the aggrega- 
tions of which cells make tissue — bone tissue, fat tissue, 
etc., according to the nature of the Salt employed as the 
primary w r orker. 

If the quantity of a particular Salt be not sufficient to 
accomplish the purpose of the life-force, cell-evolution 
will go on notwithstanding, but on a lower plane, there- 
fore abnormal, because its lower type of organization un- 
fits it to perform the functions of the higher. 

The functions of the Cell-Salts may be stated more 
specifically thus : 

Calc. Phos. unites with aloumen for the replenishment 
of connective (glue forming) tissues, blood corpuscles

and the gastric juice, and also particularly of the bones, 
which consist of the lime which this Salt provides to the 
extent of 57 per cent, of their substance. 

In normal proportions it preserves against anaemia, re- 
pairs fractures, secures normal teething, and to some ex- 
tent supplies deficiencies of Mag. Phos. 

When deficient it permits the easily decomposing albu- 
men to act as a foreign substance in the blood, and be 
expelled in the expectoration as mucus discharges, or as 
albumen from the kidneys, or as pimples, or eczema of 
the skin, or as scrofula. It also causes indigestion ; head- 
ache with cold feeling in the head : thinness and softness 
of the skull, delayed closing or reopening of its fonta- 
nels (seams) ; dropsy of the brain ; aching eyeballs : nasal 
polypi ; cold in head with thick, tough discharge ; rheu- 
matism ; various teething disorders ; chronic enlargement 
of the tonsils ; constant hoarseness ; vomiting after cold 
drink ; prolapsus ; cough, with expectoration of albumi- 
nous, white mucus ; curvature of the spine ; numb, cold 
limbs ; bow-legs ; bone abscesses ; paralysis with creep- 
ing numbness and coldness : rickets ; night sweats in con- 
sumptions, etc.: 

Its chief characteristics arc: Worse by cold, motion. 
change of weather and getting zvet ; better by rest, warmth 
and lying down. 

Calc. Sulph. carries waste matters from the system by 
the organs of excretion, i. e., skin, lungs, kidneys and 
bowels. 

When in normal proportion it restrains suppurative pro- 
cesses and heals suppurations by removing their exciting 
causes. 

When deficient, it permits the epithelial cells to disinte- 
grate and with the wastes to be cast out as discharges or 



The Biochemic System Explained. 69 

suppurations of a yellow, purulent character, or as crusts 
of the same, as in the third stages of all catarrhs, lung 
troubles, boils, carbuncles, ulcers or abscesses ; suppura- 
tions of the head, eyes, ears, nose ; watery pimples on 
face; ulcers of teeth, mouth, tongue, throat; diarrhea, 
dysentery with pus-like discharges ; chronic inflammation 
of bladder ; suppuration of the breast or joints ; all wounds 
in the suppurative stage ; all cases of suppuration when 
the discharges continue too long and the sore is un- 
healthy. 

Its chief characteristics are : Worse by getting wet, or 
by washing or working in water; also, the discharge of 
■pus with an open vent. 

Calc. Fluor, builds the elastic fiber of the muscles, 
skin, connective (glue-forming) tissue and walls of the 
blood vessels out of albumen, water and oxygen. (Albu- 
men is a compound of protein, sulphur and phosphorus. 
Protein is a compound of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and 
oxygen). 

Calc. Fluor, also controls the formation of the surface 
of bones and the enamel of teeth. 

In normal proportions it therefore preserves the elastic 
fibers intact, and in concert with Ferr. Phos. as an ele- 
ment of tonicity, secures their vigorous action. 

When deficient, the elastic fibers sag, and varicose 
veins, vascular tumors, hemorrhoids (piles), prolapsus, 
etc., occur ; or if an elastic fiber or lime exudation finds 
place in the connective tissue or the glandular system, it 
cannot be absorbed because of the deficient action of the 
minute blood vessels and swelling supervenes. 

Its deficiency also gives an unhealthy condition to the 
surface of the bones and the enamel of the teeth ; also 
causes tumors on the heads of young infants ; cataract of 



Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 



the eye ; diseases of the bones of the ear, or of the nose. 
or jaw; also stuffy cold in the head with thick, yellow, 
lumpish, greenish discharge ; also makes the teeth very 
brittle, or loose in their sockets, or the enamel rough ; 
also gives cracked tongue ; elongation of palate ; piles : 
displacements ; coughs with tiny lumps of tough yellow 
mucus ; varicose veins ; chapped skin ; skin hard and 
horny ; hard swellings ; dropsy from heart disease, etc. 

Its chief characteristics are : Worse in damp weather, 
better generally by hot applications in hardened conditions, 
and by cold -when contraction is required; also relieved by 
fomentation and by rubbing. It is complementary with 
Silica; should be used when Silica is indicated, but fails 
to complete the cure. 

Ferr. Phos. is a constituent of the blood corpuscles for 
the double purpose of furnishing iron to the muscle-cells 
and of carrying oxygen to those cells. 

When in normal proportions it preserves the tone of the 
circular fibers of the blood vessels, and thus prevents vari- 
cose veins and hemorrhage ; preserves the muscles of the 
intestinal villi (absorbents) from relaxation and consequent 
loose evacuations ; prevents the muscles of the intestinal 
walls from weakening, thereby causing their vermicular 
(worm-like) action to diminish and constipation to set in ; 
gives contractility to the blood vessels that are over- 
charged in congestions, so that the irritation is removed ; 
and furnishes oxygen for the reconstructive process of 
cell building, whether of the healing of fresh wounds or 
replacement of worn out tissue. 

When deficient, the circulation increases in the effort to 
make the part do the oxygen carrying work of the whole, 
which more rapid circulation generates too much heat

(fever) which causes a deficiency in potassium chloride, 
and as this salt works with fibrin, that cannot all be built 
into tissues, consequently remains as a foreign agent in 
the blood to be thrown off through the lungs by expecto- 
ration, or remaining in the lung inflames it into pneumo- 
nia, or is expelled through the nasal membrane as catarrh 
(Carey) ; also causes rush of blood to the head, headache, 
vertigo ; inflammation of the eyes, ears, mouth, tongue, 
throat, stomach, lungs, bladder and other pelvic organs ;. 
and hemorrhage of bright red blood, anaemia, etc. 

Its chief characteristics are: Always aggravated by mo- 
tion and relieved by cold. 

Kali. Mur. finds in the blood certain albuminoids (ni- 
trogenous substances) with which it unites and forms 
fibrine (blood-clot). (Care)'). 

Its function therefore is to change the nitrogenous ele- 
ment- of food into flesh, because fibrine is flesh as yet in 
a liquid medium. 

Prof. Stockois, at the last Medical Congress, at Rome, 
declared that k ' It can be chemically demonstrated that 
Kali. Mur. can both bind two atoms of oxygen and form 
ozone, and under different conditions of the system it can 
break up the ozone and thus make two atoms of oxygen 
available for the processes of life." What is this but 
practical storage of oxygen for emergencies? 

In normal proportions it preserves muscular weight and 
vigor. 

When deficient, the unused fibrinous elements are cast 
out in the form of fibrinous exudations, such as the false 
membranes of croups, diphtheua and dysentery, and the 
serous exudations containing fibrine in acute inflamma- 
tions of the pleura and peritoneum, and in the thick white 
discharges from mucus membranes, and in the white con- 



72 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

tents of skin eruptions and the flour-like scales on the 
skin. 

The same material, failing to be organized into tissues, 
causes soft infiltrations (swellings), headaches with thick 
white coating on tongue ; thick white discharges from 
the eyes, ears, nose ; cankered mouth : gum-boils : ulcer- 
ated sore throat ; gastritis (inflammation of stomach), 
second stage ; sluggish liver, with constipation ; diarrhea, 
with pale yellow or gray-colored stools ; all thick, milky 
white, non-irritating mucus discharges ; rheumatism with 
swelling ; chronic swelling of feet and legs ; epilepsy : 
blistering erysipelas : glandular swellings, etc. 

Its chief characteristics are : Generally worse from mo- 
tion ; if in stomach or abdomen worse from pastry, rich or 
fatty foods; also from a highly albuminous diet. 

Kali. Phos. makes the gray matter of the brain out of 
albumen, sugar, oil, water and oxygen. It is also a con- 
stituent of the brain, the nerves, the muscles and the 
blood-corpuscles. 

Existing in normal proportions it maintains mental and 
nervous strength, and properly innervates (i. e., supplies 
with nerve strength) all parts of the organism. 

When deficient it ma)' cause any disease that will natur- 
ally result from deficiency of brain and nerve power ; and 
of course aggravate all diseases caused by the lack of 
other Cell-Salts. The range of its action, therefore, is 
almost universal. 

Its chief characteristics are: Worse by noise, by rising 
from a sitting position ; by mental or physical exertion, 
and in cold air. Better by gentle motion, eating, excite- 
ment^ or any gentle, pleasing, menial occupation. 

Kali. Sulph. carries organic matter — i. e., oil, sugar 
and albumen, especially oil — to the cells of the skin and 



The Biochemic System Explained, 73 

mucous membranes, and thus vitalizes the tissues of the 
pores. 

When in normal proportions it keeps open the 7,000,- 
000 pores of the skin, which are constantly throwing off 
the wastes of the system. 

When deficient, the skin not receiving a proper amount 
of oil, the pores schrivel, the excretion of waste matters 
through them is suppressed, and the blood thereby 
becomes poisoned. 

Its chief characteristics are : Worse in warm room and 
toward evening ; better in cool, open air ; yellow mucous 
discharges; always applicable in third stage of inflamma- 
tion. 

Mag. Phos. forms out of water, albumen and oxygen, 
the transparent fluid that nourishes and governs the deli- 
cate nerve-threads called white fibers. 

In normal proportions it preserves muscular tissues from 
undue or spasmodic contraction. 

As compared with Kali. Phos., the function of which 
is to supply the stimulus for contraction, Mag. Phos. acts 
as a regulator. 

When deficient, spasmodic action is set up in the form 
of cramps, jerks, and spasmodic pains. 

As compared with Ferrum Phos., a deficiency of which 
produces muscular relaxation, the deficiency of Mag. 
Phos. produces undue contractility, hence come twitch- 
ings, lockjaw, convulsions, choking on attempt to swal- 
low, squinting, sharp neuralgic pains, spasmodic stammer- 
ing, griping, indigestion, painful urination, dysmenorrhea, 
convulsive coughing, nervous chills , with chattering teeth, 
yawning with straining of lower jaw, etc., which are all 
Nature's cry for more Mag. Phos. 

Its chief characteristics are, as an a?itispasmodic : Worse

on right side from cold, cold air, washing in cold water and 
Jrom touch. Better by warmth, pressure, friction and 
bmdiug double. 

Nat. Mur. distributes water in right proportions to all 
parts of the system. About 70 per cent, of our bodies 
consists of water, which would be distributed only in obe- 
dience to the laws of gravitation, the propulsion of the 
circulation and the permeability of tissues by fluids, were 
it not for Nat. Mur. This Salt uses the water both to 
build up tissue and to carry off wastes, and as these double 
processes go on continuously in every part, its importance 
can scarcely be overestimated. 

In normal proportions it gives to all the excretions and 
secretions a proper degree of moisture or fluidity, and 
maintains the same in all the structures. 

When, deficient, there will be a decrease of secretions, 
or greater dryness of excretions, or two little water in the 
tissues ; as in sunstroke drying the base of the brain ; 
delirium tremens drying the brain substance ; delirium 
with tongue either frothy or dry and parched ; headaches ; 
melancholia, hopelessness, despondence with constipation 
and watery symptoms elsewhere ; loss of smell from dry- 
ness of the nose ; low fevers with dryness of tongue ; con- 
stipation with dry stools ; dry coughs and dry skin. 

On the other hand, the deficiency of Nat. Mur. may oc- 
casion increase of secretions, e. g., saliva or tears, or an 
increase of water in the tissues, e. g., dropsy ; also neu- 
ralgic pains in eyes ; fresh colds, with free discharge of 
water from the nostrils ; vomiting of clear mucus ; saliva- 
tion ; catarrhs with transparent watery discharge ; diar- 
rhea with watery stools ; excessive urination ; asthma ; 
bronchitis with frothy, watery mucus; palpitation of the 



The Bioehemic System Explained. 75 

heart with dropsical swellings ; watery skin eruptions; ex- 
cessive sleep from too much moisture in the brain, etc. 

Its chief characteristics arc: Worse in morning, cold 
weather and salty air; better in evening. 

Nat. Phos. splits up the lactic acid formed in the pro- 
cess of digestion into carbonic acid and water ; also com- 
bines with acid into new compounds. The importance of 
this salt is shown by the fact stated by Bernard, that a very 
weak solution of acetic or lactic acid injected directly into 
the blood will cause death even before it is neutralized by 
the alkali in the blood. 

In normal proportions it gives the alkaline quality to 
blood and saliva by neutralizing the excess of acid that 
would otherwise exist from the fact that the creation of 
acid is an organic process and is never deficient, if a suffi- 
cient amount of proper food is taken. 

When deficient, it causes all diseases that spring from 
excess of acidity, e. g., inflammation of eyes with creamy 
discharge ; acidity of the stomach ; sore throat with 
creamy coating ; false diphtheria : morning sickness with 
vomiting of sour fluid ; ulceration of stomach with creamy 
yellow coating on tongue ; diarrhea with green, sour 
smelling stools ; inability to retain urine; trembling about 
the heart after eating ; rheumatic pains with sour smelling 
perspiration ; skin diseases with creamy yellow secretion ; 
diabetes, etc. 

Characteristic indications are : A moist, thick, golden- 
yclloiv coating on the tongue and pa/ate, and acidity. 

Nat. Sulph. eliminates excess of water from the blood 
and tissues, and preserves the bile in normal consistency. 

In normal proportions it prevents the accumulation in 
the tissues of the water that is formed by their constant ox- 
ydation ; also prevents excessive accumulation in the blood 



76 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

of the water that is held in solution by the air of respira- 
tion ; also prevents the accumulation in the digestive tract 
of the water formed by the decomposition of lactic acid. 
(Carey ) . 

When deficient, excess of water accumulates in the 
blood and causes chills ; the bile thickens, clogs the ducts, 
and produces biliousness, vertigo, yellow eyes and skin ; 
bad taste in mouth ; dirty greenish gray or greenish brown 
tongue, or a white or gray coated tongue ; diarrhea with 
dark greenish stools ; diabetes ; brick dust urine ; rheuma- 
tism with bilious symptoms ; lassitude ; consumption with 
yellow watery and green expectoration, etc. 

As related to Natrum Mur., which carries water into and 
distributes it in proper quantities through the system, Nat. 
Sulph. carries it out of the tissues into the excretory chan- 
nels. 

Its chief characteristics arc : Worse by use of water in 
any form, in damp weather, in the morning, and by lying 
on left side; better in warm, dry weather, and in open air. 

Silica mechanically promotes suppuration by the lan- 
cet-like action of its infinitesimal crystals, and is an elec- 
trical conductor for the gray matter of the brain. (Carey). 
It is a component part of the connective tissue, the epider- 
mis, the hair and the nails. 

In normal proportions it affects the brain, spinal marrow 
and nerves favorably through the connective tissue cover- 
ing of the nerve fibers. 

When deficient, it causes swelling of the connective tis- 
sue cells which may go on to suppuration, as in boils, fel- 
ons, carbuncles, suppuration of glands, joints, cornea ot 
the eye, and the like. It may also render the connective 
tissue of the brain so negative that thought becomes diffi- 
cult and despondency or headache supervene, etc. 



The Biochemic System Explained. 77 

lis chief characteristics arc: Worse at night, during 
full moon, from chilling feet and in open air; better by 
heat and in warm room. 

An important fact to be' noted just here is the compen- 
sative function of these salts, i. e., by reason of their 
chemical affinities if one salt becomes deficient, it may be 
reinforced by drawing upon another that is chemically re- 
lated to it, e. g., when excess of brain work or worry has 
reduced the supply of Kali. Phos. it may be measurably 
substitutionally provided by the other phosphate salts, viz., 
Calc. Phos., Mag. Phos. and Nat. Phos. ; but that supply 
is inferior for the use of the brain, besides exhausting the 
stock of the substituted salt to such an extent as to inter- 
fere with its appropriate work. 

This explains how, by a sort of patch-work compensa- 
tion, one can live for many years notwithstanding the pres- 
ence of what would otherwise be a fatal deficiency in a 
particular salt, yet never really recover health, because 
Nature's effort to run the machine in spite of the defect en- 
tails other deficiencies that in turn may find other substitu- 
tions, and so on, until nearly every salt has become insuf- 
ficient. 

This also explains why the supply of the chief deficiency 
only so often fails to cure, i. e., because the other needs 
are not met. A balloon may have one main leak and five 
smaller ones, all of which together render it impossible to 
expand it, because they let off the gas as fast as it can be 
supplied. 

The largest leak may then be stopped, but still complete 
expansion can never be had and a safe ascent secured un- 
til all the other five are mended. So with the Cell-Salts. 
If one is at hard work, as well try to sustain the energies 
of the system by eating sugar alone, as to keep up the nor-

mal health upon one or even eleven of these necessary ele- 
ments of organic life ; the machine is designed to work 
perfectly on twelve^ and all of them must be provided, for 
Nature cannot be defrauded with impunity, nor can she 
work her best on any other plan than her chosen one. 

The importance of the separate functions of the several 
salts will be fully seen when their use in the cure of dis- 
ease comes to be considered. 

4. How the Cell-Salts Cure Disease. 

Simply by supplying the lack. 

The fever-pangs of excessive thirst need only water to 
be assuaged. 

The agonies of starvation require only rest and food to 
be subdued. 

The obtuse mentality and sluggish action of the vital 
organs in deficient oxydation call only for that life-inspir- 
ing element. 

So, whatever the particular phase of primary disease 
may be, resulting from a deficiency of a single Cell-Salt, 
the one only call that its symptoms make, is for the in- 
organic food for the lack of which the blood is starving. 

For example : Kali. Sulph. has been deficient until an 
eczema with dry itching skin is telling that the skin lacks 
its proper nourishment. 

To other schools of medicine that voice calls for 
nerve-quieting unguents and bacterial destrovers. If these 
remedies chance to contain the element for lack of which 
the skin is suffering, they may cure by virtue of that ele- 
ment ; but most likely they do not, and the disease goes 
on. 

To the Biochemist that voice simply says, "Give me 
Kali. Sulph." ; and it is done ; and if the disease is yet in 
its primary stage, its vitalizing influence cures at once. If 



The Biochemic System Explained. 79 

it has reached the secondary stage, he must run the same 
chance of selecting the right germicide that others do, 
with still this great advantage in his favor : he supplies 
the need for nutriment at the same time that he seeks to 
destroy the germs which perpetuate the trouble. 

Take another illustration : Kali. Mur. is deficient : be- 
cause of it, the albuminous element in the blood which 
should be made into fibrine (lean flesh) cannot be, be- 
cause it is the special function of Kali. Mur. to effect that 
transformation. The albumen is chemically too unstable 
to go floating long in the moist, warm blood-current with- 
out putrefaction ; therefore, as soon as it fails to be built 
into tissue it becomes a source of peril, hence wise Nature 
seeks to cast it forth as waste material before it can do 
serious damage. 

If there is not oxygen enough to change it into urea and 
expel it through the kidneys, or if there is a local irrita- 
tion of the throat determining the blood to that locality, 
Nature will cast it off through the mucous membrane as 
an exudation which by infection may become almost in- 
stantly croup or diphtheria. 

Supply the needed Salt and the albumen in the blood is 
at once assimilated, and of necessity the exudation must 
cease for want of material. 

The seeming mystery of cures by such simple means 
should now be explained. 

Science has shown that the nearer the primary atomic 
form of matter any substance can be found, the more it 
becomes capable of penetrating other bodies. Hence the 
ether that fills space, as undoubtedly the nearest to atomic 
existence of any known substance, has a penetrating power 
that nothing can resist as proved by the recent discovery 



8o Rome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

of the telegraphic ray, so much more potent than the 
X-ray. 

The crude Salts are always in molecular, i. e., aggre- 
gated form. 

The more they are triturated, the more they approach, 
though probably they never reach the atomic condition. 

It is therefore perfectly clear that triturations or dilu- 
tions from triturations are the only proper form for reme- 
dial use. 

Trituration consists in rubbing a Cell-Salt in a mortar 
not less than one to six hours with nine times its weight 
of sugar of milk, which is selected to be the vehicle for 
the administration of the Salt, because it is harmless, 
pleasant to the taste, occasions no chemical change in any 
of the Salts, and is itself an element of the living organ- 
ism. 

This makes the first trituration or potency, and is ex- 
pressed by the sign, if any be used, ix. 

The second trituration or potency (the words mean the 
same thing as far as relative proportions of the Salt and 
its vehicle go, but trituration is confined exclusively to the 
powder or tablet form, while potency applies to liquids 
and powders) is made, not by mixing one part of the 
mineral Salt directly with 99 parts of the sugar of milk 
but by taking one part of the ix and rubbing that with 
99 parts of the sugar of milk one to six hours more. 

The difference in effect is very great. If the Salt were 
used by direct mixture for the second potency (trituration, 
2x) , then it would have but the same degree of comminu- 
tion or breaking up into greater fineness as the ix, whereas 
by taking the one part of the ix of which to make the 2x, 
it undergoes double the amount of friction. 

The rapid diminution of the relative proportion of the 



The Biochemic System Explained. St 

mineral salt to that of its vehicle (sugar of milk) is seen by 
this statement, viz., the ix is salt one-tenth grain to sugar 
of milk nine-tenths of a grain. 

The 2x = salt i-ioo of a grain to 99-100 of its vehicle. 

The 3X = salt 1-1,000 of a grain to 999-1,000 of its ve- 
hicle. 

The 4X = salt 1-10,000 of a grain to 9,999-10,000 of its 
vehicle. 

The 5X = salt 1-100,000 of a grain to 99,999-100,000 
of its vehicle. 

The 6x = salt 1-1,000,000 of a grain to 999,999-1,000,- 
000 of its vehicle. 

The 7x = salt 1-10,000,000 of a grain to 9,999,999- 
10,000,000 of its vehicle. 

The 8x = salt 1-100,000,000 of a grain to 99,999,999- 
100,000,000 of its vehicle. 

The 9X = salt 1-1,000,000,000 of a grain to 999,999,- 
999-1,000,000,000 of its vehicle. 

The iox = salt 1-10,000,000,000 of a grain to 9,999,- 
999,999-10,000,000,000 of its vehicle, and soon to the de- 
sired potency, if any higher be deemed advisable. 

The thought naturally arises, how can such infinitesi- 
mal quantities of any food such as is represented by the 6x 
have any effect whatever upon the vital processes ? 

The answer may be found in the following facts, viz : 

Scientists estimate that one milligramme (i.e., the thous- 
andth part of a French gramme, which gramme equals 
15.438 grains troy, the 1-1,000 part of which is .0154 of 
one troy grain) of any substance contains sixteen trillions 
(16,000,000,000,000 French ; the English would be 16,- 
000,000,000,000,000,000) of the ultimate molecules of that 
substance, or 2,464,000,000,000,000 molecules to each troy 
grain. 



82 Howe Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

The 6x salt contains in one grain one-millionth of a 
grain of the salt, i. e., 2,464,000,000 of its atoms. As the 
dose consists of three grains, there are therefore in each 
dose of the 6x, 7,392,000,000 atoms — a respectable num- 
ber certainly. 

But this alone does not meet the question. We must 
know also, at least to a reasonable degree of probability, 
how many atoms are requisite to supply deficiency. This 
in turn must depend upon the amount of the deficiency. 

This raises the question of dosage. 

It would add greatly to exact knowledge concerning it 
if we could know precisely the line of demarkation be- 
tween the physiological hunger for a deficient salt, and the 
pathological disease indications that the hunger has not 
been satisfied. It is altogether probable that a certain defi- 
nite percentage of waste beyond supply is that line, but ex- 
periments have never settled it, even if they have been at- 
tempted. 

Knowing the quantity of the salt, and assuming a pro- 
portionate waste, if we knew the percentage which makes 
the line between salt-hunger and disease from lack of the 
salt, we could calculate accurately the amount to be sup- 
plied, and the dosage would then be very simple. 

In our ignorance of that we can only show by a mathe- 
matical process the certainty of being able to supply all 
probable deficiency. 

On the fair assumption that the infant appropriates all 
the iron each day that its one quart of milk food contains, 
i. e., one milligram to each half pint, there are supplied to 
its 4,115 drops of blood each day 8,333,333,333 molecules 
of iron or 347,222,222 each hour, which is 86,809 atoms 
to every drop of blood, or 357,219,035 atoms at any one 
hour. The same milk contains but one-billionth of a grain 



The Biochemic System 

of fluorine, while of the iron there is six-millionths of a 
grain. 

It is fair to assume that the reduction in ordinary food 
from the working to the bare subsistence standpoint repre- 
sents all the privation that the system can endure without 
detriment. This is 48 per cent. Anything below must be 
disease-producing. This per cent is equivalent to the loss 
of 171,466,136 atoms, which would be supplied by one- 
forty-second part of a three-grain dose of the Ferrum Phos. 

Now if the loss in any disease be even forty-two times 
greater than the diminution from the work to the subsis- 
tence standpoint, even then a single three-grain dose would 
supply the deficiency. This proves conclusively that the 
infinitesimal quantities of the 6x are abundant to supply the 
losses which produce disease. 

As further illustrations of the power of infinitesimals : 

The one-thouasndth part of a grain of strychnia will pro- 
duce tetanus in frogs. — Dr. Arnold, of Heidelberg. 

He has seen this result repeatedly from one-millionth of 
a grain. — Hygieia, Vol. A\p.j6. 

Professor Stokvis, in an address given at the Medical 
Congress in Rome,' made use of the following example : 
" If we throw metallic copper into water and wait for some 
days, we shall find that a certain proportion of the copper 
has dissolved, i. e., one part to seventy-seven million parts 
of water " (about one drop to three barrels of water) , aiid 
Dr. Walker adds : ' ' Drinking such water may produce 
vomiting, diarrhea, etc." 

Spallanzani fertilized a frog's egg with 1-2,984,687,500 
part of a grain of the seminal fluid of frogs. 

It has been estimated that a cubic inch would contain 
125 sextillions of bacteria or, in other words, 125 followed 
by twenty-one cyphers. Yet each one is a living thing. 



84 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

Let us take another view : Analyses show that three 
and a half ounces of blood cells contain normally the 
mineral constituents in these proportions, viz. : Iron 
phos., 0.998; potass, sulph., 0.132; potass, chloride, 
3.079 ; potass, phos., 2.343 ; sodium phos., 0.633 5 sodium 
chloride, 0.344 ; calcium phos., 0.094 ' ma g- phos, 0.060, 
which stated relatively to each other in percentages is, 
iron phos., 12.98; potass sulph., 1 .7 1 ; potass, chloride, 
40.07 ; potass, phos., 30.50; sod. phos. 8.23 ; sod. chlor., 
4.47 ; cal. phos., 1.22 ; mag. phos., .78. 

The ascertained waste of all the Cell-Salts is about one 
ounce every 24 hours. The average is 8-10 of an ounce, 
or 384 grains, which is 16 grains per hour, or a total of 
256,000,000,000,000 atoms each hour. 

These, distributed according to the proportions existing 
in the system would give as the normal loss per hour : 

Ferr. phos 33,280,000,000,000 Atoms. 

Pot . sulph . , 4,35 2,000,000,000 

Pot. chor 102,400,000,000,000 

Pot. phos 78,080,000,000,000 

Sod. phos 21,120,000,000,000 

Sod. chlor 11,520,000,000,000 

Cal. phos 3,072,000,000,000 

Mag. phos 2,048,000,000,000 

Nearly all diseases are local in their origin, i. e., when 
from lack of iron congestion begins, not over one thou- 
sandth part of the body is involved at first. 

The thousandth part of the iron molecules in the body 
equal 33,280,000,000, the deficiency of which, if esti- 
mated at 10 per cent, below the difference between work- 
ing and subsistence diet (which is 48 per cent.) would be 
1,597,440,000 molecules, which would be replaced by 2-10 
of one dose of Ferr. Phos. 



The Biochemic System Explained. 85 

The above showing of the relative wastes of the Salts, 
very strongly suggests the propriety of dosing them rela- 
tively somewhat in proportion to their probable loss, but 
more investigation is needed in this direction. 

But the objector says : " Certainly the higher potencies, 
the two hundredth for example, can contain no drug, it 
must be trituated all away." Answer: Doubtless, this is 
true of organic substances, but cannot be of the inde- 
structible inorganic Salts, for what fire cannot burn away, 
the mortar cannot triturate away. 

True, Dr. D., in the Homeopathic News, says, that "it 
disappears in the eighteenth trituration." Whether this 
be true or not, abstractly considered, as a practical ele- 
ment, it is doubtful whether it exists beyond the tenth, 
although there is satisfactory evidence to show that some- 
thing cures even in much higher potencies. 

There are supposed to be more than 1,200 million cells 
in the brain and spinal cord alone, each cell built up by 
these wonderful processes of Cell-Salt action. 

The life of a blood corpuscle is supposed to be about 
six weeks. What that of other tissue cells is we know 
not, but these amazing changes going on continuously 
without a break through life show to the reflective mind 
the boundlessness of the wisdom that planned the struc- 
ture, and the ceaseless watchfulness and power of the 
Providence that secures its perpetuity. 



CHAPTER IV. 



THE INDICATIONS OR SYMPTOMS THAT CALL FOR THE USE OF EACH CELL- 
SALT. 

Under many symptoms two or more remedies are named. 
When this is the case, the one should be employed whose 
physiological properties as given in chapter III best agree 
with the particular help that nature needs, e. g., boils. 
Ferr. Phos., Kali. Mur., Calc. Sulph., Silica. 

When heat and pain indicate congestion, Ferr. Phos. 

When swelling sets in, Kali. Mur. 

To prevent suppuration, Calc. Sulph. 

This proving unavailing, to hasten suppuration, Silica. 

Hence the practical rule should be : When two or more 
Salts are named for one symptom, give the one most 
strongly indicated, and if that fails, the next, and so on 
successively, or in alternation. 

.The following Combination Table is taken from Dr. 
Walker's work, and was prepared by Professor Carnelly, 
an eminent doctor of science, and is believed to be very 
accurate. For the sake of brevity numbers are attached 
instead of the names of the Salts : 

No. i. Calcium Phosphate may be combined (taken 
with) with Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12. 

No. 2. Calcium Sulphate with Nos. 1 , 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 
12. 

No. 3. Calcium Fluoride with Nos. 1, 2, 5, 9 and 12. 

No. 4 Ferric Phosphate with Nos. 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 
1 1 and 12. 

No. 5. Potassium Chloride with Nos. 1 , 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 
and 12. 



The Indications or Symptoms, Etc. 87 

No. 6. Potassium Phosphate with Nos. 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 
and 12. 

No. 7. Potassium Sulphate with Nos. 2, 5, 6, 8, 11 and 
12. 

No. 8. Magnesium Phosphate with Nos. 1, 4, 6,7, 9, 10, 
1 1 and 12. 

No. 9. Sodium Chloride with Nos. 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11 and 
12. 

No. 10. Sodium Phosphate with Nos. 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11 
and 12. 

No. 11. Sodium Sulphate with Nos. 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 
12. » 

No. 12. Silica with all. 

It will be noticed that the phosphates combine with each 
other ; so, also, do the sulphates, and the chlorides and flu- 
orides, while silica combines with all. 

Do not forget that the special locality of the trouble 
is of no account in selecting a remedy only as it affords an 
opportunity for a symptom to be revealed, i. e., conges- 
tion whether in eye, throat, stomach, bqwels, kidney, 
bladder or foot, calls for Ferr. Phos. ; and so of all the 
Salts — they are all constitutional, not local merely. 

Dosage. — While making the suggestion on a previous 
page of the advisability of dosing the Salts somewhat ac- 
cording to their relative waste within a specified time, it is 
deemed best to adhere in this book to the customary three 
grain dosage, to be administered one to four times a day 
in chronic cases, and from once in ten minutes to once in 
two hours in acute cases, being governed by the violence 
of the symptoms. 

Mag. Phos. should usually be given in hot water in acute 
cases. 



88 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

All the other Salts should be also when a very speedy ef- 
fect is desired. 

When more convenient, the tablets or powder may be 
dissolved in water and given in spoonful doses, being care- 
ful to dissolve three grains for every teaspoonful prepared. 

Tablets of this size W are one grain. 
Tablets of this size Hp are three grains. 

The Salts may be advantageously employed externally 
whenever so prescribed by dissolving one dose of the Salt 
to every teaspoonful of water used for the lotion. 

Apply with a compress, and cover to prevent too rapid 
evaporation. 

The powder, or tablets pulverized, may also be made 
into, an ointment with olive oil or vaseline and used in ap- 
propriate cases. 

No classification can be made that will not contain the 
same symptom, under different divisions, and thus duplicate 
the symptoms, e. g., neuralgia in the head, would natur- 
ally be found under head, nerves and pain, but in this book, 
the first principle of classification being the functions and 
the second the organs, it will fall under Pain, and if 
not found there, under the organs, i. e., IVerves, instead 
of in all three places, and thus save expense. 

Section i — Circulation. 
The function of circulation is : 

1. To carry the blood with uniform regularity, volume 
and force to all the tissues. (See Arteries and Heart.) 

2. To convey the wastes of the system to the excretory 
organs for expulsion. (See Veins and Excretion.)

DIET. 

The influence of material substances upon the brain is 
strikingly illustrated by the statement, that the Arabs ma- 
nipulate their hasheesh so that there are some establish- 
ments where the peculiar quality is sold that makes a man' 
sing, and others where the effect is to produce continuous 
laughter, while another preparation causes visions, either 
of a delightful or a horrible character, according to the 
quantity ; and when the drug is taken at a certain strength, 
the fiercest and most self-ignoring homicidal tendency is 
developed, whence the derivation of the word " assassin " 
from hasheesh. The medical superintendent of an insane 
asylum affirmed his ability to change the mental condition 
of his patients in a similar way, solely by changing their 
diet. 

The diet question, therefore, is one of supreme impor- 
tance, by which is not meant either oatmeal hobbyism, 
vegetarian exclusiveness, nor the asceticism which denies 
a good thing because it pleases the palate. 

It starts with the proved facts, that human foods are di- 
visible into four groups, called respectively, protein (i. 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 275 

albuminous or nitrogenous), fats (meat and fish fat, butter, 
vegetable oils) , carbohydrates (C. H. O., corn-starch, su- 
gar, gums, jellies and fruit acids ) , and mineral salts. Each 
group has its own work to perform, like four mechanics 
building and running an intricate machine. 

Mr. Protein is a man of all trades, and can do his own 
appropriate work or that of either Mr. Olleum or Mr. Carbo, 
but not the work of Mr. Salts. Mr. Olleum and Mr. 
Carbo can either of them do the work of the other, but not 
the work of Mr. Salts or Mr. Protein. Mr. Salts can do 
his own work ovly . It is evident, therefore, if there is to 
be any material deficiency m the service of these men, it 
is better that it should be in that of Mr. Olleum or Mr. 
Carbo, because there will then be a better chance to have 
it supplied by the others. It is further evident that any 
deficiency in the work of either Mr. Protein or Mr. Salts 
must remain unsupplied. It so happens that their work is 
not only of relatively greater importance than the other 
two, but is absolutely necessary, while that of the other two 
can be dispensed with to a certain extent. 

Mr. Protein furnishes nearly all the frame work, the 
ropes, pulleys, etc. 

Mr. Salts fits the parts to each other in working order. 

Mr. Olleum and Mr. Carbo furnish fuel and padding. 

Now, it is easy to see that if the frame work is defective, 
or the parts not properly adjusted to each other, the defect 
is very serious, while a limited lack of fuel or padding can 
be supplied by Mr. Protein. 

Scientific investigations have settled the relative amounts 
of the different groups of food elements as (when estimated 
dry), protein 4.2, fats 1.8, C. H. O. 18. salts f ounce, 
needed every twenty-four hours for a man at moderate 
work. 



276 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

Females require two-tenths less in the same circum- 
stances. 

The amount of force generated by this food in the same 
time, expressed as heat, is 3,500 calories, a calory being 
the amount of heat that will raise one pound of water 4 F. 

The proteids are albuminoids, i. e., nitrogenized sub- 
stances, represented in the blood by fibrin or liquid flesh, 
chemically the same as the white of egg and the gluten of 
wheat. If, then, these are deficient the tissues waste, the 
gastric fluid is impaired, and the nerves lose their tone. 
When the fats and C. H. O. are deficient the working 
force and resisting power of the system against cold both 
diminish. When the salts are deficient the material pro- 
vided cannot be built together into the machine. 

In disease one or more of the functions of these food ele- 
ments are disturbed, e. g., in consumption, marasmus, mal- 
nutrition, and fevers, the tissues waste for want of protein. 
In long-continuud abstinence the fats that are stored in the 
system are burned as fuel, as in the case of the hibernating 
period of the bear, who retires in the fall sleek and fat, but 
wakes in the spring lank and ravenous, having consumed 
his stock of fat-fuel. 

The fats are also stored in the system as cushions for the 
mechanical machinery as well as a reservoir of fuel for fu- 
ture emergency. 

The C. H. O. group consists of starches and sugars. 
Sugars consist of cane or table sugar, grape or fruit sugar, 
and milk sugar. The last two are ready for immediate ab- 
sorption, but the cane sugar must be digested. 

It is the misfortune of the people that modern cookerv 
provides a large excess of fats, starches and sugars, and a 
corresponding deficiency of proteids and salts. The result 
is that the sugars and starches are first consumed in the 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 277 

system, using up the oxygen of respiration and that con- 
tained in food and drink to such an extent that there is not 
enough left with which to transform the proteids into tis- 
sue, thus leaving in the warm blood current the easily de- 
composing nitrogenous substance, which becomes an im- 
mediate and constant source of disease. 

A further result is a deficiency of the protein element, 
with its consequences as above stated. 

Little more can be done in this book than to enunciate 
the general principles of the subject, and this can best be 
done in the form of separate statements without regard to 
direct logical connection. 

Some eat themselves into disease by an over supply of 
nutriment. Hundreds of thousands do the same thing by 
the use of food disproportioned in its elements. 

Thousands upon thousands slip from acute disease into 
chronic invalidism by semi-starvation, in which the stom- 
ach shrinks to the insufficient supply and becomes inca- 
pable of handling an adequate amount. 

A certain amount of oxygen is absolutely essential to the 
digestion of a given amount of food. i. e., the oxygen ob- 
tained from the inspiration of seventeen cubic inches of air 
for each ounce of food. 

Therefore, if the respiratorv power is diminished, as in 
consumption or from any other cause, the food must be 
reduced to a corresponding degree. 

If the food consumed is insufficient to maintain the 
strength, vet is all that can be digested with existing respi- 
ratory capacity, then the remedy lies not in digestants nor 
tonics, but in i 'n creased respirations. 

A table of lung capacity, computed from 5,000 obser- 
vations of Hutchinson and the gymnasium record of 2,300 
Amherst students, is here inserted.

It is seldom that the nutritive needs of a person in sick- 
ness can be met from the ordinary table fare of the family. 

If the disease be in the stomach, the proteids that are 
allowed should be in fluid form and the main dependence 
for nutrition should be placed upon the fluid proteids and 
the fats and starches. In severe cases enemas of fluid pro- 
teids are necessary. 

If the disease be in the digestive tract below the stom- 
ach, the sugars and starches should be given sparingly, if 
at all, and the main reliance' be placed upon the nitrogen- 
ous foods digested in the stomach. 

Beef tea and the beef extracts of the market are useful

ing to Baron Liebig, Sir William Roberts, Dr. Milner 
Fothergill, Prof. Chittenden and others. 

In selecting the food appropriate for the sick, the above 
principles should guide. 

A list of serviceable foods is here subjoined. 

In f-electing from this list, or from other sources of sup- 
ply, effort should be made to procure that which is chemi- 
cally appropriate, and at the same time physiologically

suited, i. e., agreeable to the appetite and not opposed to 
any personal idiosyncracy — such as constitutional aversion 
or uniform unfavorable effects from use. 

The most convenient proteids are cheese, peas, beans, 
lentils, meats, poultry, fish, eggs and cereals. 

The most convenient fats are butter, cream, fat meats, 
vegetable oils, nuts, corn and oats.

Lafferty Complete Flour. 

Made of Virginia wheat, which is claimed to contain a 
much larger amount of brain, bone and nerve food than 
the Pacific coast wheats. It is claimed also that " official 
analysis " has shown that it contains nearly 300 per cent, 
more brain, nerve and blood food than any high grade 
white flour. We have been unable to procure the said 
analysis, therefore this statement must be taken upon the 
authority of the manufacturers. In color it is a brilliant 
white, with an appetizing flavor, and makes a most excel- 
lent bread. Price, $8.00 per barrel ; $4.00 per half barrel.

Whole Wheat Flour. 

Contains fifteen per cent, pure gluten. Made by a new 
process. This is a slightly larger proportion of gluten 
than in most other flours, and in constant and satisfactory 
use by the thousands of Sanitarium patients. Four cents 
per pound. 

Battle Creek Sanitarium Health Food Company,

" For making bread from the flour of the entire wheat, 
take two quarts of umifted entire wheat flour, a little less 
than a quart of warm water, one-half cup of sugar (or less 
if desired), one-half cake of compressed or ordinary dry 
yeast, and-a little salt. Dissolve the yeast in part of the 
water, mix sugar, flour and salt, and add the yeast and the 
remainder of the water. Stir well and set in a warm place. 
When the dough has risen to twice the original amount, 
stir down and put in tins for baking, allowing it to rise a 
second time. This bread requires longer and slower bak- 
ing than ordinary white bread. This quantity makes two 
loaves of bread of ordinary size/ 1 — Prof. L. M. Under- 
wood, Columbia College, New York. 

Another method is : One pint whole wheat flour, one 
pint milk and one egg, mixed and poured into hot gem 
pans and baked in a hot oven thirty minutes. 

Fruits axd Nuts are not strictly prepared foods, yet 
they are so healthful, convenient and adjustable that a 
brief outline of their utility is in place. 

Dr. Dupoury, of Paris, divides fruits into five classes, 
viz. : 

1. The Acid, i. e., cherries, strawberries, gooseberries, 
peaches, nectarines, apples, lemons, oranges, limes and 
pineapples. 



284 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

2. The Sweet, i. e., plums, grapes, raisins, prunes, pru- 
nels, rigs, dates and huckleberries. 

3. The Astringent, i. e., persimmons, pomegranates, 
cranberries, blackberries, sumachberries, dewberries, rasp- 
berries, barberries, quinces, pears, wild cherries and med- 
lars. 

4. The Oily, i. e., olives and cocoanut. 

5. The Mealy, i. e., bananas, and some apples. 

Not having his distribution of fruits under this classifi- 
cation at hand, I have ventured to make it as above. 

Oranges, figs, prunes, mulberries, dates, plums, and 
some pears are laxative because of their relaxant proper- 
ties. 

1. Strawberries and raspberries are excellent for the 
bilious and for the plethoric and gout}^. Cherries not 
good in neuralgia of stomach. The juciest apples are 
more digestible than the mealy. 

Oranges, the juice of two before breakfust, good to 
starve the doctors. Lemon, lime and pineapple juice good 
for diphtheria. 

Lemon juice good for gout. 

"Apples excite the action of the liver, promote sound 
and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfect the mouth ; 
also agglutinate the surplus acids of the stomach, help the 
kidney secretions, and prevent calculous growths, while 
they obviate indigestion and are one of the best preven- 
tives known of diseases of the throat." 

Eight ounces of apples with twelve ounces of entire 
wheat bread make an admirable meal at quite moderate 
work. The addition of Dutter tits it for more active labor. 

"The English medical journal, The Lancet, gives the 
case of a child three years of age, ill eighteen months, 
blind, covered with ulcers from head to foot, in constant

pain, pronounced incurable by eight eminent physicians, 
put by the ninth on a diet of ripe fruits and sugar or honey. 
In three days began to improve, in a few more opened his 
eyes for the first time in over a year, and at the end of 
three and a half months was pronounced cured." — H. M. 
Poole. 

Cholera infantum has been treated successfully by send- 
ing the little patients to peach orchards to live. 

2. Plums prevent gout and articular rheumatism. 

The grape cure for the anaemic, dyspeptic, consumptive, 
the bilious and the gouty. Huckleberry juice excellent in 
fever. 

3. The astringent fruits are especially useful in loose- 
ness of the bowels. 

Juice of raw cranberries, diluted, good in typhoid fever. 

4. Olive oil especially useful for defects of the excretory 
ducts of the skin. 

5. Bananas are much like potatoes in food value. 
Mealy apples are richer in nutriment than others. 
Fruits should be eaten at the beginning of a meal, or 

between meals. 

According to Dr. Sophie Lepper, the English food spec- 
ialist — 

"Almonds, blanched, give brain and muscle food with 
no heat or waste. (This is a mistake. Each ounce gives 
177 calories of heat. — S. H. P.) 

"Apples give nerve and muscle food, but do not give 
stay. (They contain more phosphorus than any other 
fruit or vegetable. — S. H. P.) 

"Figs, dried, give nerve and muscle food, heat and 
waste, but are bad for the liver. 

" Grapes, green, water, of little food value, but blood 
purifying. 



286 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

" Grapes, blue, feeding and blood purifying ; too rich 
for bad livers. 

" Lemons, thinning and cooling ; not good for daily use 
in cold weather. 

" Oranges, refreshing and feeding ; not good if liver is 
out of order. 

"Pine kernels, give heat and stay; serve as a substitute 
for bread. 

•'Prunes, give nerve and brain food, heat and waste; 
not muscle feeding, and bad for liver. 

"Raisins, are stimulating in proportion to their quality. 

"Small seed fruits (fresh), are mostly laxative. 

" Stone fruits, are not good for liver troubles. 

"Tomatoes, have the same effect as lemons. 

" Walnuts, give nerve and muscle food, heat and waste."' 

Pineapples, olives and apples aid digestion. 

Vegetables contain so much woody fiber that they re- 
quire very strong digestive fluids and muscular contrac- 
tions for their digestion, and after all they contain vtry 
little nutritive substance.

nips with prunes, cabbage with peanuts, potatoes with rice,

The tubers, parsnips, beets, turnips, and sometimes po- 
tatoes and cabbage often must be excluded from the 
dietary. 

An important rule is : Articles of food should be eaten 
together which will be digested in about the same length 
of time. 

The large quantity of potash salts in vegetables retards 
their digestion. 

Fruits are digested very quickly : apples in one to one 
and a half hours. Hence fruits and vegetables should not 
be eaten together. 

When sweet fruits are taken freely, starch foods should 
be correspondingly diminished. 
Gluten. 

Pure gluten biscuit, eatable and not unpalatable. Fifty 
cents a pound.

All these for the use of diabetics. 

Battle Creek Sanitarium Health Food Company, 

Battle Creek, Michigan. 

Gluten is vegetable fibrin and casein, with sometimes 
a little fat, and exists as gluten cells 1-675 inch in diame- 
ter, surrounding the starchy substance of the wheat ; also 
as free granular gluten 1-15,000 inch in diameter mixed 
in with the starch. It is rich in all the mineral constitu- 
ents needful for the body, in fact, "is soluble mineral 
food." 

Granose is the whole wheat berry thoroughly scoured 
and washed, salted, twice cooked, and is in slightly 
browned, crisp flakes, completely sterilized, delicately 
flavored and palatable. Recommended for constipation, 
biliousness, sick-headache and indigestion ; for teething 
babies, old persons and invalids. Fifteen cents per pack- 
age.

Our Home Granula Company, Dansville, New York. 
Grape Juice. 

Furnishes one of the most healthful forms of the C. H. 
O. for the sustenance of man. In Germany and France 
grape cures are much patronized. They consist of living 
almost exclusively for several weeks upon grapes freshly 
picked, several pounds a day being consumed at regular 
intervals, and nothing but bread and water besides. The 
small amount of nitrogenous matter supplied by this diet 
renders it unfit for active conditions or for long continued 
use, but grape juice can be advantageously combined with 
an otherwise almost exclusive albuminous diet in most 
cases where that is found necessary. 

' A method of home preservation is to put into a kettle 
with one-fourth pint of water eight quarts of grapes just 
ripe but not over ripe, and scald slowly, mash them, drain 
four to six hours, express the juice and drain again, then 
sweeten to taste, boil the juice fifteen to twenty minutes, 
skimming frequently, pour hot into heated bottles, fill full 
and cork tightly with hot boiled corks, seal with wax and 
keep in a cool place. Will keep indefinitely. 

An excellent preparation known as Welch's Grape Juice 
can be bought of druggists or of the manufacturer. Price 
thirty-five cents per pint. 

The Welch Grape Juice Company, Watkins, New York. 

Orange and lemon juices may be preserved the same as 
grape juice, by using the pulp only, freed from seeds.

Hints Concerning Young Children in Summer. 

Bathe the child once a day in luke-warm water ; if fee- 
ble, twice a day. 

No tight bandaging. 

Make the inner garment of light flannel. 

The outer clothing light, cool and loose. 

Use clean diapers always. 

Give the child a bed by itself and put it in awake. 

Never coddle a well child to sleep in the arms. 

Never give soothing syrup nor sleeping drops. 

Never give candy or cake to quiet it. 

Keep in the fresh air, under shade, not in rooms heated 
for domestic purposes. 

Give breast milk, if possible, once in two or three hours 
during the day, and seldom as possible at night. 

Remove the child from the breast if it falls asleep. 

Never give the breast when you are over-fatigued or 
over-heated. 

If hand-feeding must be resorted to, try [aire, fresh, 
unskimmed cow's milk. Add to each nursing-bottle full 
a half-teaspoonful of sugar, and if the milk is very rich, 
young infants should have it diluted with one-fourth part 
of hot water. Prepare the milk by filling soda-bottles to 
within two inches of the top, cork tightly, set into cold 
water on the stove and bring it nearly to the boiling point, 
and keep it there about twenty minutes, then remove from 
stove and cool slowly, set. aside in a cool place. Do not 
open until needed 

If such milk disagrees add a tablespoonful of lime water 
to each bottle. 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 293 

It" this disagrees try pure cream diluted with three- 
fourths or four-fifths of pure water for a few days, then 
return to the milk. If this fails try some of the prepared 
infant's foods. 

Use plain nursing-bottle with a rubber nipple and no 
tube, and soak both bottle and nipple, between meals, in 
water containing a little soda. 

Do not wean the child just before or during hot weather ; 
usually, not until after its second summer. 

After six months old a little stale bread and milk may 
be given twice a day. After eight months old one meal 
a d-iy of the yolk of fresh eggs rare-boiled. 

From three or four months, slightly sweet or neutral 
fruits may constitute a part of the daily diet. 

MlLKINE. 

Milkine possesses the nutritive element of milk, malt and 
meat. In proteids it slightly exceeds good wheat flour, 
while it has six times as much fat and more than six times 
as much mineral salts, largely lime, and the starch is all 
changed to sugar. 

Recommended for insomnia, nervous prostration, pneu- 
monia, typhoid fever and other wasting diseases, vomit- 
ing, and tor nursing, mothers. Adult meal, one to two 
tablespoonsful in a breakfast cup of hot water. Price, 
50 cents and $1.00.

Nut Butter. 

Nut butter is an emulsified vegetable fat, free from the 
germs contained in animal fat. It dissolves freely in 
water, and for this reason is more digestible than any of 
the animal fats or vegetable substitutes for them. It is 
claimed to have forty 7 one per cent, of vegetable fat and 
nearly nineteen per cent, of proteids, which is one-fourth 
more than beefsteak. 

Recommended to all who cannot digest fats, and to in- 
crease flesh; also for constipation. Nut butter is a sub- 
stitute for milk, cream and butter. Put up in sealed tin 
cases from one to ten pounds each, 30 cents per pound. 

Sanitas Food Company, Battle Creek, Michigan.

Cream. 

Is not properly prepared food, yet is capable of so many 
uses as a special article of diet that we give it a place in 
this connection. It is almost a pure fat food, and its bland 
qualities make it of special value in infantile constipation. 
One-half to one tablespoonful before each feeding, sweeten 
with loaf sugar if not otherwise accepted.

The -princi-pal objects of bathing; are cleanl ness, some 
change in the functions of the skin, some change in the 
determination of the blood, some change in the tempera- 
ture of the body, or part of it, or some change of func- 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 299 

tional activity. Baths are named from the degree of tem- 
perature employed: Cold, 33 to 55 ; cool, 55 to 65 ; 
lukewarm, 65 ° to 70 ; tepid, 70 to 85 ° ; warm, 85 ° to 
95 ; hot, 95 to no°. 

Colo Baths suddenly and powerfully contract the capil- 
laries of the surface, and force the blood inward, thus 
stimulating the heart and large arteries to a vigorous effort 
to drive it back, which, if successful, is the reaction which 
glows and invigorates. But if the vital organs be weak 
and the capillaries sluggish, congestions dangerous to 
health, and even to life, are apt to result. Cold baths 
should be taken in a very few minutes. 

Cold baths remove solids from the system, by increas- 
ing respiration, increase the number of corpuscles, the 
amount of hemoglob n and glandular activity. 

Cold local baths, that is, applied to one part only, in 
reaction draw the blood to the part in order to replace the 
heat lost in the bath. Taylor says that a sitting bath, the 
water of which has been raised two degrees by the heat 
of the body, has caused the absorption by the blood of the 
oxygen of four or five cubic feet of air, " enough to raise 
a half pint of water from the freezing to the boiling point, 
and has eliminated from the system more than a 'naif-ounce 
of its solid material."" 

Sea Bathing is the most stimulative form of cold bath- 
ing, the invigorating effects of the simple cold bath being 
heightened by the saline constituents of the water and the 
revulsive effect of the waves against the skin, aided also 
by the bracing air of the shore, temporary change in food, 
habits, etc. 

A good substitute for a sea bath is the following mixture 
of salts dissolved in about thirty-eight gallons of water 
lor one bath : Ten pounds of chloride of sodium (common 



300 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

salt), live pounds of sulphate of sodium (Glauber's 
salt), seven and one-half pounds of chloride of magnesia, 
and two and one-half pounds of chloride of calcium. 

Cool Baths, in a person of ordinary healti., slightlv re- 
lax the skin, impart vigor, soothe the extremities of the 
nerves, and abate internal blood pressure. But in prostrate 
conditions, the effects are the same as from cold baths. 

Tepid Baths are mild yet efficient relaxants to the skin 
and extremities of the nerves, relieving internal engorge- 
ments and soothing the entire system. Yet the}^ are not 
suitable to strong local, or general congestion, flaccidity of 
structures, cool surface, colliquative perspiration, threat- 
ening gangrene, or chronic weakness of vital energy 
(Cook). They should take ten to fifteen minutes only. 

Warm Baths aie stimulating and relaxing to the sur- 
face, and soothing to nervous excitability. If continued 
long they excite perspiration, and ma}^ cause oppression, 
languor and giddiness, because the internal process of 
heat production is. retarded, elimination of solids is 
checked, and respiration diminished. Time thirty to sixty 
minutes. 

Hot Baths, rarely over ioo°, strongly arouse the capil- 
lary circulation by the effort of the body to return the 
surplus heat given to it, relieve local rheumatism and neu- 
ralgia, accompanied by partial congestion when applied 
locally in the form of fomentations. They are not advisa- 
ble when the skin is cold and clammy, except when im- 
pregnated with the strongest stimulants, e. g., capsicum 
or mustard. With perspiration excessive and warm, they 
are of great service Hot baths are useful to restore 
warmth to the body in cases of profound shock, or after 
exposure to severe cold, but in the latter case the circula- 
tion must be first gradually restored. They should be 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 301 

avoided if the patient expects to be exposed to cold within 
a few hours. 

Hot baths should not be taken except as a remedy for 
disease, baths of lower temperature accomplishing all that 
is needed for ordinar} 7 purposes. Duration five to thirty 
minutes. 

Pack Baths consist in wrapping the entire body in a 
sheet wrung out of water, with blankets so enveloping 
him as to maintain a tepid warmth in every part, thus pro- 
ducing the same effects as the tepid bath, but to a far 
greater degree, even to the extent of promoting the ab- 
sorption of internal effusions. Sleep ensues as a conse- 
quence of the general relaxation, and care must be used, 
for if the pack be continued too long the over-relaxation 
may produce inability to tone up afterward, in serious 
cases. 

Compresses are simply cold, local packs ; fomentations 
are hot. For the latter, wet from two to four thicknesses 
of cotton, or linen, in the water or decoction selected, 
heated according to the case, and cover with three to six 
thicknesses of dry flannel, projecting on ail sides three 
inches beyond the wet, and bind firmly in place. If con- 
tinuous heat is required, change the wet cloth frequently, 
without removing the dry, by lifting the dry and slipping 
the wet under it as hot as can be borne. In congestions 
the moisture is absorbed through the capillary walls, de- 
taching the adhering corpuscles and unclogging the blood 
vessels. 

l^aflor Baths, no° to 140 . The famous Russian bath 
is vapor. The early Thomsonian method was to seat the 
patient enveloped in blankets, in a chair set on slats 
across the top of a tub of hot water, into which hot bricks 
or stones were put. 



302 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

Another method is, to generate the vapor by putting an 
alcohol lamp, with or without a tin of water over it, under 
a chair, with blankets tent-like about both. This is the 
hydro -alcoholic bath. 

Another way is, for the patient to lie in bed with the 
clothes raised by supporting half hoops, and have the va- 
por conducted under the bed clothes, or a vessel of steam- 
ing hot water put under the clothes. 

Another way is, to surround the patient in bed with sev- 
eral hot bricks wrapped in cloths, and p air vinegar or 
alcohol on them. 

However they may be taken, vapor baths should not be 
continued man}' minutes after the face p-rspires freely. 
They are far more penetrating and powerful than sponge 
baths, securing a full outward flow of blood, breaking up 
internal congestions, and stimulating the entire surface. 

In scarlatina, measles, smallpox, erysipelas, hydropho- 
bia, chronic skin affections, colds, rheumatism, ague, flood- 
ing, acute d\sentery, lockjaw, dropsy, chronic abscesses, 
etc., they are invaluable. The bowels should be first 
emptied by a full injection of hot water, else the contents 
may be absorbed and carried through the system toward 
the surface. 

The vapor bath should not be risked in conditions of 
decided prostration, in heart troubles or diseases of the 
large blood vessels, or in internal mortification. Persons 
of very delicate nervous organization are liable to faint in 
it because of the sudden flow of blood from the brain to 
the surface, and they may feel prostrated for days by it. 

General Rules for Bathing. Those suffering from heart 
disease, faint spells, or congestion of the brain, should 
never bathe in the surf. 

Full baths of any kind should not be taken within one 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 303 

hour before a meal ; within two hours after a meal ; when 
much fatigued, or otherwise exhausted ; when the body is 
cooling after perspiration ; when cold from previous ex- 
posure (except the warm bath). 

The ears should be protected with light cotton plugs in 
surf bathing. 

Should lassitude result from surf bathing, or persistent 
chilliness, or numbness, discontinue it and rest ; also take 
a strong cup of coffee, but do not try to "walk it off," as 
that will exhaust still more. Contrary to general opinion, 
the feet should be first wet, then the head, if preferred. 

In all baths, heavy shocks should be avoided. The 
bath should be adapted to the person. If a cold bath is 
recommended for a certain condition, and the patient is 
used to warm baths only, begin with a tepid, gradually 
reduce to cool, then to cold. The abuse of water by en- 
thusiastic believers in its virtues, is as much to be guarded 
ag.'inst as its proper use is to be encouraged. 

Women should take only such baths during the last two 
months of pregnancy, or while menstruating, as are ap- 
propriate to their condition. 

The rule not to bathe within two hours after a meal, is 
of the utmost imporiance, as many cases of fatal " cramp " 
are due to the plunge into cold water when the stomach 
contains much food. 

A patient suffering from dry asthma, with cold perspi- 
ration during paroxysm, would be injured by a tepid bath. 

In excessive urination with a dry skin, a tepid sponge, 
or vapor bath, will diminish the flow. On the other hand, 
a cool bath, when the skin is moist, especially with an 
astringent added, will increase the discharge from the 
kidneys when that is deficient. (Cook.) 

Persons who have reached the decline of life, whether 



3^4 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

at fifty or seventy-five years of age, should avoid chills 
from whatever baths they allow. (From my " Secrets of 
Health/') 

Water may be advantageously used internally in con- 
stipation, by sipping a glass on rising. In typhoid fever 
by taking eight to ten ounces an hour, sterilized. In 
cholera by using large quantities of hot water frequently 
as bowel enemas. By sipping hot water, one-half to one 
pint, thirty minutes before meals in nearly all stomach 
disorders. Should be sipped, because in sipping the 
action of the nerve which slows the beat of the heart is 
abolished, hence the circulation is quickened, the secre- 
tion of the bile is also hastened. 
EXERCISES. 

Increased oxygenation, more rapid metamorphosis of 
tissue, improved digestion and sleep, and the development 
and augmented strength of the muscles employed, are the 
constitutional results of exercise. 

The specific kind to be employed in any case should 
depend upon the particular need of the case. 

In general terms, all women, except those who live bv 
hard, manual toil, need to strengthen the muscles of the 
abdomen, hips and back, and thus prevent or cure the mal- 
positions of the pelvic organs, which cause the major part 
of their miseries, as well as to give them the muscular 
strength needed for safe child-bearing. 

All nervous debilities, dyspeptic troubles, liver com- 
plaints and pulmonary ailments in both sexes, require lung 
expansion and increased strength of the muscles of the 
chest. 

All muscular debilities call for the systematic use of the 
muscles implicated, not for mechanical braces as a substi- 
tute for vigor of fiber. 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 305 

With these principles in view the adaptation of different 
forms of exercise may be briefly considered. 

Walking, if done with an elastic step, that swings the 
weight of the body from one foot to the other, is the king 
of all exercises for universal usefulness. But it must be 
walking, not dawdling. If even but five yards can be 
covered, let it be with the swing of gladness for power to 
move at all, and more power will be born of the moving 

joy- 

Carriage riding, especially with a cheerful companion, 
at an exhilirating gait, is a valuable form of exercise for 
the feeble, which may be changed by a moping pace and 
a glum associate into a funeral effect upon the spirits and 
and nerves. 

The Bicycle is dangerously potent for good or ill, accord- 
ing to the judgment displayed in its use. As a rule, 
scorching is but a significant euphonysm for physical dam- 
age. Race riding, with its execrable posture, is too insane 
an act to be even mentioned as hygienic. 

Going away from home until tired , is transforming exer- 
cise into exhausting work to cover the return. 

Starting rapidly, or pushing up-hill suddenly, before the 
respiration is quickened to correspond with the more rapid 
heart-beats is to invite faintness, giddiness or hemorrhage. 

Riding with a saddle that irritates the perineum is the 
sure precursor of very troublesome, and, it may be, seri- 
ous disease of the genital organs in both sexes. 

Pedaling rapidly soon after a hearty meal, if done fre- 
quently, is certain to derange the circulation, and prepare 
the way for a thrifty dyspepsia. 

Avoiding these dangers, the bicycle is a blessing to the 
race, particularly to the female sex. 

There is little doubt that the marked decrease in the 



306 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

number of female consumptives in Massachusetts during 
the past six years (in 1890 it was 1055 to 1,000 males; 
in 1896 it was 974 to 1 ,000) ; is owing mainly to the greater 
habituation of voung women to out-door sports and recre- 
ations, among which the wheel has been the chief factor. 

Rowing, as a muscular exercise, gives precisely the 
development of strength in the abdomen and thighs that 
women need, at the same tim« securing the chest expan- 
sion and deep respiration which are of even greater impor- 
tance. 

Horseback Riding, if habitual, is an almost unmatched 
exercise for both sexes. No mere machine, however per- 
fect, can ever fill the place of a noble horse whose every 
motion is a thrill of magnetism, and whose spirit is instinct 
with a life that penetrates and vitalizes every nerve .of his 
rider. 

But he must be a horse, not a hack, and horse and rider 
must be in sympathy, so that the bounding pulses of the 
one shall throw tides of magnetic vigor into the other. 

Blessed are they who can thus ride. 

But a "swinging gallop" only once a month or ?>o. 
only a pleasant fiction that hides the semi-dislocations and 
inconvenient lacerations that make the hardest part of the 
ride the day after. Females should not indulge in such 
pastimes, because they come too infrequently to strengthen 
supporting muscles that they tax to an extreme and often 
relaxing degree. 

Golf, lawn tennis, etc., in garments that neither restrict 
respiration nor impede the circulation, should be sought 
when not too tired. 

But all these presuppose quite a stock of vitality to be- 
gin with. 

What can those do who are shut in, and are, perhaps. 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 307 

too poor to afford any of the means of exercise implied in 
the foregoing ? 

We answer, perhaps not quite as well, but well enough 
to reap the results of exercise in the open air. 

A couch or hammock in a shady nook in summer, and 
the same, or even only a chair in a sheltered corner wheie 
the sun shines in winter, comfortably wrapped if need be 
with feet in a box covered with a warm blanket, or even 
with a hot water bottle, if necessary, at least two hours of 
every day, may be spent in the open air, when storms do 
not forbid. 

While there, exercise by using oxygen as directed in 
"Nature's Cure,'' the best, the most reasonable, the 
most effective exercise ever devised for the general relief 
of human ills. 

It is very simple, and for that very reason many will be 
tempterl to discard it. 

But it is as mighty as it is simple, and you, poor one, 
who complain that you cannot afford to procure the means 
or appliances of recovery, ought to thank God that his 
Providence has brought to you at last an tfficient substi- 
tute for those longed-for things. 

We quote from "Nature's Cure," by H. C. Borger : 
" We can breathe air into the lungs, but not oxygen into 
the blood." "It is not the exertion that is beneficial in 
exercise, but what is gained by exercise — circulation of 
the blood and absorption of oxygen." "If the vital force 
generated is dissipated in the getting, no gain is made." 
" It takes at least five inspirations and exhalations to com- 
plete the" (one) "act of respiration." 

Therefore, the me: hod is : 

1. Either lying down, sitting or standing, draw through 
the nose as much air as will fully expand both chest and 



308 Some Treatment with the Cell-Stilts. 

abdomen, clap the thumb and finger against the nostrils 
(not pinch them) and try to force out the air against the 
resistance of that obstruction. After a second or two let 
out the air. Do not hold long enough to produce dizzi- 
ness. 

2. Then take four short, natural inspirations. In these 
the oxygen is absorbed. 

3. Every fifth time proceed as in 1. 

4. For beginners and weak persons, one to two minutes 
is enough for one treatment, but it should be gradually ex- 
tended to ten or fifteen minutes. 

5. Two to six treatments a day. 

6. Do not force the fifth respiration so as to produce 
sore muscles or irritate the lungs, but as much as you can 
without doing so. 

Adhere strictly to this plan. 

We have not space to explain the whole philosophy of 
this method, but assure our readers that it is thoroughly 
scientific, reasonable and practically successful. 

What more is required? 

Your doctor does not explain why and how his medi- 
cines are supposed to cure. 

Take this "Nature's Cure" upon the same basis of 
trust, and use it, especially if deprived of the means to get 
other things ; use this patiently, perseveringly, hopefully, 
and our word for it, if nature can cure she will ! And we 
know that she can in multitudes of cases, when the absence 
of so-called drug-helps gives her a fair chance. 

But do not suppose that it is appropriate to invalids only. 
Being one of nature's remedies, it is suited to all degrees 
of strength and all forms of weakness and disease. 

The objection may be raised that such a slight increase 
of oxygen intake can do but little; but it should be remem- 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 309 

bered that the basal function of oxygen is to quicken 
molecular movements. The smallest article that can be 
seen by the naked human eye is about 1-100,000 of an 
inch on a side, and is composed of from sixty to one hun- 
dred million molecules. 

Risteen, in his work on molecules and the molecular 
theory, says, that if every man, woman and child in the 
world i. e., 1,468,000,000, were to lay down in a straight 
line a molecule of carbonic acid gas, the line would not be 
a yard long. 

Prof. Wm. Crooks, of London, savs, that to count the 
molecules in a pin head at the rate of 10,000,000 per sec- 
ond would require 250,000 years. 

A grain of musk has perfumed a room for twenty years, 
and in that time must have given off 3 20, 000, 000,000,000,- 
000 particles. 

Will the objector kindly inform us how much oxygen 
is necessary to effect the movements of a few millions of 
molecules ? 

REST AND RECREATION. 

Why needed. — The great American nation has become 
nervous, dyspeptic, sexually weak, and physically degen- 
erated, largely by the untamed spirit of drive and con- 
quest, which is the product of its environment and history. 

Three more generations of retrogression, and, as a peo- 
ple, we shall be the scorn of the civilized world. It is 
time to halt ■ and the first reformation should be on the 
high ground of rest. Greed must check his speed, ambi- 
tion must take time to breathe, corn-petition must ease up 
for a holiday. 

The Incessant Grind of the busy brain needs a let-up ; 
and it will have it, or the impinging fibers will grind each 



3io Home Treatment with the Cell -Salts. 

other away. This is the very point that we are deploring. 
The damage to the brain-fiber is reporting itself in the 
nerves, stomach, manhood-power, and physical stature 
and strength of the younger generation. More holidays, 
and half-holidays, a sacred rest-hour in the hum of the 
day, business locked into the mill, bank, counting-room, 
office, store or shop, when it is closed for the night, instead 
of being welcomed at the home fireside and transformed 
into a hideous nightmare in the sleep-hours ! 

Rest, rest, rest, is what we need. 

Reform the Schools. — But the mandate will never be 
heeded until the example is set in our public schools. 
Stuff, cram, FORCE, is the very spirit of school boards 
and teachers' institutes, until the young brain takes on an 
habitual type of high pressure, which will be maintained 
later on in the business of life until the machine crashes 
and the untimely end is reached. 

None the less imperative is Nature's call for rest. 

The habit of semi-sleep-rest should be cultivated. Sit 
easily in an easy chair, hands folded on lap, chin fallen 
upon chest, eyes closed, and breathe slowly way down to 
the pelvic bone, minute after minute, and soon (thinking 
only of ihe deep breathing) the whole organism will sleep, 
consciousness only being half dreamily alert. This rest- 
faculty ought to be cultivated, especially by all nervous 
people and brain workers. 

Rest One Day in Seven is a law of Nature, as well as 
a law of God. The observation of Sir Robert Peel, that 
no man can work seven days in the week without prema- 
turely breaking down, has been abundantly demonstrated 
in many ways. — Secrets of Health. 

Recreations. — These are any methods of employing the 
time, other than the habitual ones, the outcome of which is

re-creative to the vital powers. This definition excludes 
all violent exercises that are more exhausting than recu- 
perating ; all methods that tease the nerves into irritability ; 
and all that interfere with the dominancy of good, estab- 
lished habits. 

As a general rule, recreation should be in the line of the 
partial or total disuse of the functions and energies that 
bear the ordinary strain of life, and the substituted use of 
that part of the nature that can be most pleasurably em- 
ployed under the circumstances. 

A day off on an excursion or picnic, or fishing or hunt- 
ing, if attended with constant worriment over the expense,. 
is not recreation. 

Visiting, with a perpetual fret over the proprieties of the 
occasion, is not rest. 

A public dance or other entertainment where fashionable 
attire destroys physical comfort, even though it please per- 
sonal vanity, is not re-cuperation. For the habitual brain 
worker to rush through a fiction, or any other book, is not 
giving the brain cells a holiday. 

For the mother to go vacationing and take all the 
younger children with her, is not disusing the faculties 
that are every day on the strain. 

Better have ten hours of genuine recreation than a whole 
week of sham — labeled " vacation ! ! ! " 

Rests and recreations should be timed in frequency to 
the running down of the energies. 

Some men can go months without anv beyond what 
each night and Sunday afford, but others need it every 
week, and many in poor health, every day. A twenty- 
four-hour clock must be wound oftener than a seven-day 
timepiece. 

When the balance wheel begins to vibrate feebly, the 



312 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

winding should come. Better a little before, but none 
should ever wait for it to stop. 

The whole secret of the matter is, all the vital powers 
act more vigorously under pleasurable recreation. Hence 
digestion and assimilation, secretion and excretion are 
then at their best. 

Therefore the true economist who finds it necessary to 
employ remedies, will reinforce them with the best practi- 
cal conditions of recovery, i. e., all the rest and recrea- 
tion that his case requires ; bearing in mind the fact, that 
it is the worst of spendthrift policy to try to make the rem- 
edies do their ozvn work and that of rest and recreation 
also. 

The general rule given as to the disuse of the regularly 
hard worked faculties is all the suggestion that can profita- 
bly be made of the particular kind of recreation for an in- 
dividual case, it being understood that preference should 
always be given to that kind which lies furthest from the 
artificialities of life, nearest to nature, and calls into play 
most thoroughly the involuntary processes of respiration, 
circulation, digestion, assimilation and excretion. 

Whenever feasible, and it can be made so much oftener 
than is thought possible, camping out from four to sixteen 
weeks should be the aim of every invalid. 

It needs no elaborate pa aphernalia. Just a little nook 
beside some lake or running stream ; a party of four con- 
genial spirits, a small tent, a few unbreakable cooking 
utensils, some tin crockery for the company, and for each 
an army blanket, a rubber blanket, one or two changes of 
undergarments, rubber overshoes, tooth-brush, comb, soap, 
and two towels, needles, thread, pins and safetv pins, 
pocket testament, a few postal-cards if far from home, and 
some hunting and fishing gear. In the absence of a tent. 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 313 

a covered wagon will answer for the females, and the men 
can build themselves a brush hut for the occasion. The 
provisioning is of great importance. Cereal coffee for or- 
dinary use, and Java and Mocha mixed for times of special 
exposure, condensed milk, canned fruits and vegetables, 
hard-tack and crackers, entire wheat flour for pancakes, 
sugar, salt pork, salt and pepper, vinegar, and some pre- 
served fruit juice, if practicable ; no butter, nor other 
things that will deteriorate rapidly. 

If any particular stomach troubles need to be provided 
for, that should be done for five to ten days, then rely upon 
the general dietary. Two square meals and a hand lunch 
a day, eight to ten hours' sleep, cheerfulness, fun and frolic 
to the utmost capacity. 

Such a two or three months' life is worth more to the 
ailing than twice the length of time in any sanitarium on 
earth at five to ten times the expense. 

No medicines, but a full set of Biochemic Salts for emer- 
gencies. Of course, a hatchet, matches, some loose cords, 
fine and coarse, a little old muslin for bandages, and a 
plentiful supply on the part of each of a fixed purpose to 
make all the others as happy as possible. 

Stick an outing- is a dyspepsia-killer, a consumption 
evader, a -prostration uplifter, a blue-devil exterminator, 
an "all-goneness^ banisher, a sleeplessness conqueror, a 
"poor appetite" extinguisher, and an ''always-ailing" 
revolutionize?' .' 

There are thousands of families, spending every year 
hundreds of dollars for help that they would not need if 
well, and for doctors and drugs that make them no better, 
who would be completely rejuvinated by a ten or twelve 
weeks' trip like the foregoing. 

Of course the plan is elastic enough to admit of any 



314

desired increase in the number, but with the one absolutely 
essential qualification, no chronic grumbler, and no two 
disgruntled askance-lookers admitted on any terms. 

If any special justification of this plan is needed it is 
found in the fact, that, when in the Crimean war, it was 
found necessary to put a large number of typhoid fever 
patients into tents, because the hospitals were full, it proved 
that the mortality was less, and the progress of the patients 
far more rapid in the tents. 

The same was the experience of our own army in the 
war of 1861-64. 

In addition, may be cited the practice of the best insane 
asylum on this continent — the McLean, at Waverly, 
Mass. — erected at a cost of $1,250,000, where " Food and 
fresh Air " constitute the line of treatment, as they do also 
at Dr. E. L. Trudeau's famous establishment for the cure 
of tuberculosis at Saranac Lake, N. Y. 

WARIYTH. 

An egg can never be hatched in a refrigerator. Warmth 
nourishes life ; cold devitalizes. The reason is, the white 
blood corpuscles (leucocytes) are paralyzed by cold, so 
that their defensive work, in protecting from microbes, is 
diminished, or ceases altogether. 

The only exception to this law is the law of reaction, 
upon which the utility of baths is based. A temporary 
chill, by means of the nervous telegraphy, immediately 
calls for reinforcements, and they come rushing in with 
the blood-current that seeks to restore the balance of cir- 
culation, and that temporary influx of the defenders raises 
the vitality of the part. 

Hence, a law of recovery is — no chill, however pro- 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 315 

duced, that cannot be overcome by vital reaction, within a 
very lew minutes at most, is ever beneficial. 

It is useless to try to toughen by any such measures ! ! 

SLEEP. 

" Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," is a nice 
thing to talk about and a nice thing to have. Our physi- 
cal systems are geared for a sixteen-hour run, and can only 
be run to the best advantage on that plan. Because the 
brain never recuperates except in sleep. 

When worry, pain, care, greed or nervousness prolong 
that run to eighteen or twenty hours, something will give 
way sooner or later. 

Eight hours for work, eight for sleep (for adults), and 
eight for all other things, is Nature's plan. 

How to get the eight hours sleep is the great question. 
The requisites are : 

1. Sufficient previous exercise to cause a little tire, with- 
out enough weariness to create fatigue-fever. 

2. A mind willing to sleep and ready to glide, not force 
itself into it. 

3. A well- ventilated room, by which is meant a fresh 
supply of air from an opening one inch by twenty, at 
least, in moderately cool weather, and a wide open window 
in summer time. 

4. A hard bed, but not hard enough to make the bones 
ache, i. e., a mattress of husks or hair, or better, woven 
wire springs covered with a blanket, and as light top cov- 
ering as can be used without chill. 

5. An extra blanket always within reach to draw over 
in the night, when the bodily temperature sinks. 

6. Occupy the bed alone. 

7. Lie on the right side, head slightly inclined towards 



3 l6 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

the chest, resting on a low, hard pillow, knees slightly 
drawn up, arms in the most easy position possible, and 
no hard pressure anywhere that will impede the circula- 
tion, or cause discomfort an hour or more later. 

8. If the thoughts will run, fix them on the least inter- 
esting subject possible, and then care not a continental 
whether you sleep or not . 

9. Should restlessness come nevertheless, get up, pour 
a little cool or cold water down the spine, then see-saw 
with a long towel thrown over between the shoulders, so 
as to create a friction over the spine. When comfortably 
tired try the bed again. 

10. If too much debilitated for this, the same principles 
can be applied by the aid of nurse or friend. 

11. Abjure all sleeping potions. 

12. Build the nervous system up to the sleep point, by 
hygienic measures, and Kali. Phos. four to six times a day. 

13. Never try to sleep with cold feet, but plunge them 
into cold water and jump into bed without drying. If too 
feeble to secure immediate reaction, dry with a flesh brush 
or coarse towel after the cold plunge, or, if necessary, 
have them rubbed or whipped into warmth. 

14. Never try to sleep when hungry, nor take a full 
meal just before retiring. 

15. Never try to sleep with a guilty conscience. 

16. Never work the brain hard within an hour of retir- 
ing. If ill or nervous, not within three to five hours. 

17. If loaded with care, never try to sleep until you can 
" cast your burden upon Him who careth for you." 

Brain workers, users of alcoholic stimulants, large eat- 
ers, pregnant and nursing women, and rapidly-growing 
children need more sleep than others, ordinarily can 
scarcely get too much.

COLON FLUSH. 

This is a system of flushing the bowels employed by the 
writer for several years. It originated in suggestions ac- 
companying various clinical reports in different medical 
journals, and was greatly enlarged later after reading Dr. 
Wilfred Hall's wonderful elucidation of the benefits of his 
plan. In this treatment an attempt is made to adapt the 
quantity, temperature and frequency of the flushes to the 
condition of the patient. The colon is a sewer, the posi- 
tion and construction of which is such that it cannot be 
flushed out from end to end, therefore the only practica- 
ble way is to pump it full and cleanse by emptying. This 
requires from four to eight pints of fluid. The essentials 
are, a good bulb or fountain syringe, preferably both, with 
a tube eighteen to twenty inches long between the bulb 
and the delivery pipe. A large soft rubber catheter to be 
attached to the delivery pipe of the syringe. If this can- 
not be obtained, the ordinary vaginal pipe of a family syr- 
inge will answer. A rolled blanket for the hips, a pillow 
for the head. 

How to take it. — If the rectum is empty, begin in any 
way that suits ; but if it is packed, lie on back:, hips on 
rolled blanket, shoulders to bed or floor, insert the pipe 
and inject very slowly, so as to soften the mass and allow 
it to pass away. Then, if the bowel is packed on the left 
side, lie on left side, hip on blanket, left breast to bed, 
thighs bent close to pelvis, inject slowly, retain until de- 
sire to stool is felt, then expel. Repeat, as strength per- 
mits, until all hardness is removed from the left side, then 
turn on back, hips elevated, inject slowly until full, rest, 
turn on right side, slowly fill again until desire to stool is 
felt, then pass it away. 

Observe. — If much prostration ensues take a cup of hot 



3 1 S Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

capsicum tea, or of hot coffee, either before or after, or 
both ; or better still, three to six grains of Kali. Phos. in a 
cup of hot water. 

Should it be difficult to discharge the water, dissolve in 
it a teaspoonful of table salt, and gently knead the colon 
from the right groin up to just below the short ribs and 
across, just below the stomach, and down into the left 
groin. 

Flushes hot enough to excite free perspiration should 
never be employed when the bowel contains a mass of foul 
matter. 

In fermenting conditions, should be used with sufficient 
frequency to prevent the absorption of the poisonous pro- 
ducts into the blood-stream. Best time is in the evening. 

In simple constipation without fermentation, the best 
time is on rising in the morning. 

Should be used regularly, not infrequently, as long as 
required. 

When it causes discharges of mucous or slimy matter, 
it shows the need of frequent cleansing. 

Its-immediate physiological effects are, purification of the 
blood, relief of congestion of the pelvic organs, and their 
vitalization, hence its great value in diseases of the pelvic 
organs. 

Rules for Temperature. 

Cool or cold for inflammation ; fevers without marked 
prostration, and as a tonic, but never so as to produce 
chilliness. 

Tepid, to produce relaxation ; to promote absorption, 
and in obese conditions. 

Warm, to soothe. 

Hot, for antiseptic use, if water alone is employed ; 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 319 

to relieve pain ; promote peispiration ; as a stimulant ; and 
to recuperate in fatigue. 

Any temperature when used as an ant-acid or antiseptic 
medium for the employment of chemicals.

work, see my " Secrets of Health, 1 ' published by ihe 
Orange Judd Co., N. Y., (Cloth, 576 pages ; price, $1.50.) 

To anyone who can afford the luxury, Prof. Tyrrell's 
Cascade Treatment is said to be a great improvement 
upon the ordinary method of' the use of the colon flush.

THE THERMO=OZONE TREATHENT. 

The Thermo-Ozone Battery is the name given to an 
appliance (not an electrical battery), by which a differ- 
ence of thirty or more degrees between the battery and 
its poles, generates an unfelt current that decomposes water 
and carries the ozone directly into the venous current, thus 
purifying the blood and vitalizing the nerves. It is also 
capable of carrying medicines, when placed in solution in 
contact with the positive pole, into the tissues adjacent to 
it. Its great superiority over all forms of electricity for 
the cure of disease (except when the cautery is necessary) 
has been demonstrated so often that it needs no furiher 
proof. 

It is the invention of Dr. S. R. Beckwith, for many 
years an eminent surgeon in the West, but now living in 
New York city. 

Its percentage of cures of difficult and hitherto incura- 
ble diseases is simply amazing. 

It is run by putting the battery into cold or hot water, 
and its poles upon or near the seat of the disease. The 
current gives no sensation, costs nothing after the pur- 



320 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

chase of the battery, and is guaranteed for two years. 

It is furnished by the author of this book, and instruc- 
tions for its use given without further charge. It consti- 
tutes a part of our " Ideal Treatment" in obstinate cases. 

NUCLE1N TREATHENT. 

This consists in supplying to the system the vital mate- 
rial of the lymphatic glands of animals, the effect of which 
is immediately to multiply the leucocytes, and thus increase 
the protective power of the blood against disease, and 
also its reparative processes. 

Various preparations have been made, but Proto-nuclein 
is the best adaptad to use by the people, and while not 
designed for them, except as prescribed by a physician, it 
is infinitely safer than the opiates, narcotics and other 
drugs, etc., that they so generally use. 

As a substitute for this, when not readily obtainable, 
the following treatment is specially commended. 

BLOOD TREATMENT ( Hsematherapy . ) 

This consists in opposing to disease such a good and 
sufficient blood-supply as would have prevented the dis- 
ease, had it been possessed at the outset. The blood of 
bullocks, sheep or chickens ma}^ be used ; in rare cases 
the blood of human beings is employed by transfusion. 
The treatment introduces blood, preferabty mixed with 
salted water in various proportions according to the case, 
by the stomach, rectum, hypodermic injection, or by 
absorption from a raw surface. 

In the hands of skilled physicians it is by far the most 
successful form of treatment ever devised, especially in 
such desperate conditions as advanced consumption, 
typhoid fever, pernicious anaemia, cholera infantum, ner- 



Nature's Go-operative Curatives. 32 s 

vousness, collaspe from hemorrhage, old ulcers, gangrene,, 
blood poisoning, crushed or decayed bones, mangled fleshy 
and burns covering a large surface. 

Dr. T. I. Biggs, 1690 Broadway, New York, is the 
chief illustrator of this system, and his address is here 
given solely in the interests of the readers of this book, 
who have failed to find relief elsewhere. 

The method was not designed for domestic use, yet it 
is capable of very broad and wholesome adoption by the 
people. 

Fortunately, an article is kept at many drug stores, and 
can be procured by all, which contains the blood of bul- 
locks so combined with glycerine and enough whiskey 
to preserve it, as to make it sterile, palatable, rich in blood- 
cells and of immense utility as a nutriment in weakened 
conditions. We have no interest in naming Bovinine 
be_yond the desire to help the sick. 

It is really a form of Nuclein treatment, with the advan- 
tage of supplying the white blood-cells ready for immedi- 
ate work, and the ricii pabulum of healthy blood with 
which to sustain. them. 

In rheumatism the red blood corpuscles are diminished^ 
therefore, the blood treatment with the Cell- Salts, espe- 
cially Ferr. Phos., is indicated, together with two liters 
(about 67.6 ounces) of pure soft water a day. 

NUTRITIVE ENEflA. 

Not given as a complete treatment in itself, but as an 
adjunct to anv of the others when necessary. Some use- 
ful ones are as follows ; 

Nutritive Enemas. 

No. 1 . The white of an egg stirred into two ounces of 
of water, containing one-third of an even teaspoonful of 



322 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

table salt, at a temperature of between eighty and one 
hundred and five degrees. 

No. 2. Two ounces of salted water and one ounce of 
Bovinine. 

No. 3. Three ounces salted water and three ounces ot 
Bovinine. 

No. 4. One grain pure Papoid dissolved in one ounce 
of water, i. <?., two tablespoonfuls ; mix with six ounces of 
raw lean beef, chopped fine ; keep two hours at a temper- 
ature of 130 degrees. Strain through cheese cloth, and 
add a little boiled water. If desired, five per cent, of 
brandy may be added. May also be used as an embroca- 
tion when absorption is wanted. 

No. 5. Two eggs, twenty grains of pepsin, ten grains 
of table salt, six ounces water, slightly warmed. 
How Administered. 

The bowels should at first be cleansed with warm water 
and Ivory, or some other soap of first quality. Rest a few 
moments, then slowly inject the enema with hips slightly 
elevated, and retain, if necessaiy with the help of a folded 
napkin pressed againsi the anus. Repeat every three to 
six hours. 

In cases of great loss of blood, the No. 3 should 
be given, every two or three hours, until the system ral- 
lies, then less frequently. 

In giving the enema, a large catheter should be con- 
nected with a bulb or fountain S}'ringe. The catheter, 
well oiled, inserted as far as it will go without much re- 
sistance, then inject enough to distend the bowel slightly, 
and work the catheter in gradually eight inches, then in- 
iect the whole slowly. If there is much irritability, so 
that it is thrown oft' too soon, repeat, and, if necessary, 
prepare tne enema with weak poppy tea instead of salt 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 323 

water, or precede it with an ounce or two of elm or flax 
seed tea, or witch hazel solution. 

Dr. Jones-Humphreys has devised an improved appara- 
tus as follows : 

A small funnel, rubber tube half inch in diameter and 
eighteen inches long, one end connected with the funnel, 
the other with a piece of glass tubing, and joined to a rub- 
ber catheter. The catheter is inserted, the enema poured 
into the funnel and allowed to work in by absorption. 
The glass tubing shows the descending nutriment. 

MY IDEAL TREATMENT. 

When we consider the number and complexity of dis- 
eases, it should not be deemed strange that with all their 
power for good, no one of the foregoing treatments is al- 
ways successful, even in all curable cases, e. g., the bio- 
chemic may fail for the want of germicides or organic nu- 
triment ; germicides may fail for lack of either biochemics 
or organic nutriment ; the oxygen treatment may not suc- 
ceed for lack of any or all the others ; the blood treatment 
may not be a success because of insufficient antisepsis and 
too little oxygen. 

All these together may prove unavailing by reason of a 
fountain of corruption in the colon, saturating the blood 
with its poisons. The thermo-ozone battery may fail be- 
cause of a lack of the biochemic salts or of organic nu- 
triment. 

Therefore a combination of two or more of these means 
of cure is always necessary in cases that do not readily 
yield to the biochemics alone. Which of these shall be 
combined in any particular case must depend upon the 
nature of the case, circumstances of the patient, and the 
availability of these means. 



324 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

Principles of Guidance. 

i. The Cell-Salts first, last, and all the time, in every 
disease, rejecting the preposterous assumption that fifty 
cents' worth will cure a disease of years' standing and that 
has baffled the skill of home physicians and the power of 
many dollars' worth of patent medicines. 

2. The colon cleansed every twent}-four to forty-eight 
hours by natural, full, soft movements, or by the flush, ex- 
cept in extreme cases when very little nutriment is taken 
or yreat prostration without fecal poisoning contraindi- 
cate it. 

3. Baths for cleansing and to control temperature should 
never be neglected. 

4. Diet always to be adapted to the condition of the pa- 
tient, so as to give full nitrogenous nutrition, meaning by 
full all the respiratory power in use can furnish oxygen to 
digest, also such fuel-foods (that is, fats and C. H. O.) as 
the nature of the case admits. This may be, preferably, 
sometimes fats, al other times C. H. O. either in vegeta- 
bles or fruit juice, or some such preparation as Paskola, 
or, in extreme cases, the alcoholics, simply as foods, not 
^as narcotic stimulants. 

5. Oxygen to the full extent of the respiratory capacity, 
and that capacity increased by " Nature's Cure '' method. 

6. When the oxygen in use fails to master the germs of 
the disease, then resort to such antiseptics as may be most 
available, and best suited to the case. 

7. It is presupposed that in all these, rest, sleep, exer- 
cise and recreation have their proper and methodical use. 

8. As a perfectly safe, yet efficient mode of antisepsis 
and general systemic invigoration, the Thermo-Ozone Bat- 
tery is of great utility, and may economically constitute a 
part of the home preparations for the treatment of disease. 



Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 3 2 5 

In deciding upon which of these auxiliaries to the Cell- 
Salts should be used in a given case, let the following 
questions be asked, without regard to the name of the dis- 
ease, namely : 

i. What is obviously needed to support and improve 
the vitality of the patient? 

2. What is plainly required to neutralize and over- 
power the influences that depress the vitality of the pa- 
tient? 

3. Which of these treatments offers the needed vital 
support? 

4. Which of these treatments furnishes the needed antag- 
onism to the anti-vital influences? 

Common sense with close observation and careful study 
of these treatments will be likely to give the answer that a 
competent physician would give. 

Suppose a case of diphtheria to suddenly develop. Ferr. 
Phos. and Kali. Phos. will, of course, be administered at 
once. 

Seclusion in a room stripped to imperative necessity, 
follows immediately upon the discover}- of the nature 
of the disease. Disinfection by Platfs chlorides, Bromo- 
Chloraline or Sanitas is constant. Local antisepsis 
of the patient, externally, by spongings of Sanitas 
or Peroxde of Hydrogen, and of the throat and nose 
if necessary, with Hydrozone, Sanitas, or in the ab- 
sence of these, alcohol as hot as it can be borne, 
with sufficient frequency to remove and keep off the 
deposit. Meantime nutriment of Bovinine, or if that is 
not procurable, the fresh blood of a bullock, sheep or 
chicken, defibrinated, i. c, the clot removed by stirring 
with a clean stick, and the serum mixed with milk or fruit- 
juice and given, thirty drops to a tablespoonful of the serum 



326 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

every one to three hours, depending upon quantity taken 
at one time and age and strength of patient ; frequently 
if very weak, and in small quantities. 

if complications arise, the cell-salt appropriate to the 
new symptoms is given. 

As soon as the patient is removable, disinfection of the 
room occurs. 



CHAPTER VI. 



THE CO-OPERATIVE CURATIVES OF SCIENCE. 

Germicides — Antiseptics — Disinfectants — Deodori- 
zers —Stimulants — Relaxants — Astringants . 

The properties of germicides, antiseptics and disinfect- 
ants are substantially the same, i. c, they are fatal to 
germ life, or so sterilize the media in which they grow 
as to prevent their propogation. Practically the words 
are used as synonymous in this book. But deodorizers 
are such substances as have the power to destroy foul and 
noxous odors. 

The diseased conditions in which antiseptics are appro- 
priate, and, in most cases indispensible, because they are 
secondary diseases as explained on page sixty-two, are as 
follows, viz. : 

Asthma, abscess, anthrax (charbon), apthe, bronchitis, 
bedsores, boils, burns, breasts ("gathered"), cancer, car- 
buncle, catarrh, catarrhal dyspepsia, chilblains, cholera 
infantum, cholera, colitis (infiamution of the colon), con- 
junctivitis (inflammation of conjunctiva), consumption, diph- 
theria, dysintery, ear discharges, empyema (a collection 
of purulent matter in the chest) , chronic enteritis (inflam- 
mation, beginning in the coat of the small intestines), ery- 
sipelas, eye discharges, farcy and glanders ; fevers — bil 
ious, hay, puerperal, scarlet, typhoid and yellow, fever 
sores, felons, fetid breath, feet malodorous, fistulas, gan- 
grene, gumboil, gonorrhea, hemorrhoids (piles) , hydro- 
phobia, inflammations, chronic injuries, lacerations, laryn- 



328 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

gitis (inflammation of larynx), leucorrhea, lock-jaw, 
measles, milk-leg, miscarriage, mumps, peritonitis (inflam- 
mation of membrane lining abdominal cavity), perspira- 
tion offensive, pertussis (whooping cough), pharyngitis 
■chronic, (inflammation of pharynx) pneumonia, poisoning, 
scrofula, skin diseases, stomatitis, syphilis, tonsilitis, 
thrush, tubercles, ulcers, wounds, old. 

A great variety of antiseptics have been placed upon 
the market, nearly all of them with some merit, but some 
of special excellence are named in this book, together 
with particular adaptations in certain cases. The list is 
longer than would be necessary, but for the fact, few if 
any of them are kept in all parts ofthe country, and their 
use should not be contingent upon ability to procure any 
particular kind. 

It is not expected that their internal use will kill all the 
germs of disease, for it is very doubtful whether any one 
of sufficient germicidal property to do that can be inocu- 
ous to the living organism. But they do sterilize the me- 
dium in which germs propagate, and thus preventing 
their rapid increase, the leucocytes of the blood overcome 
the germs. 

The directions accompanying these antiseptics should 
be carefully studied. 
Adaptation. 

The best of remedies raav be of no use or even harmful 
if the laws of adaptation are not studied. These laws re- 
late to tolerance by the stomach, digestibility, non-disa- 
greeing properties, quantity, frequency of dosage, etc. 
In short, everything that makes keen observation of ef- 
fects better than blind following of prescription. Every 
person who treats himself, child or other person, puts him- 
self thereby in the place of a physician, and is bound by 



The Co-operative Curatives of Science. 3 2 9 

the obligations of the relation to study his patient, observe 
the effects of everything done or omitted, and meet all tcn- 
favorablc manifestations with such modifications of dos- 
age or application as his common sense may dictate. 
Precautionary Disinfection . 

In all run down conditions of the system, as well as in 
all cases of special exposure to disease, the precaution 
should be taken to use antiseptics in order to prevent the 
possible colonization of some of the many kinds of disease 
germs that are constantly swarming in the dust of the 
streets and in the air. For this purpose Listerine, Men- 
thymos and Zymocide are especially pleasant and suffi- 
ciently effective. 

Dr. Manfredi has discovered that the health of the peo- 
ple of Naples, Italy, corresponds with the number of mi- 
crobes found in the dust of the streets. The healthiest 
streets had only 10,000,000 per gramme (the twenty-eight 
and three-tenths of an ounce avoirdupois), while the filthi- 
est streets and most unhealthy sections had 5,000,000,000 
per gramme. Among these were the microbes of pus, the 
baccillus of malignant drops}-, lock-jaw, tubercule and fa- 
tal blood-poisoning. 

When it is expedient to disinfect and deodorize the 
hands, ground mustard rubbed on freely for five minutes, 
with corn meal and soap, and worked into all the creases 
and under the nails will be found an efficient and satisfac- 
tory article. 

Disinfection During Contagious Diseases. 

The laws of different States vary somewhat in their 
characterization of " contagious diseases," but the follow- 
ing are named by one or more States as such, viz. : 

Asiatic cholera, small-pox, diphtheria (membranous 



33° Some Treatment with the Cell- Salts. 

croup), scarlet fever, typhoid fever, tuberculosis (consump- 
tion), yellow fever, typhus fever, measles and cerebro- 
spinal meningitis. Some foreign countries add bubonic 
plague, erysipelas, and relapsing, continued and puerperal 
fevers 

In these diseases the health of the public requires thor- 
ough disinfection, which should consist of — 

i. The internal use of the most appropriate antiseptic 
that can be had. 

For all purposes Hydrozone is to be preferred, although 
in the milder forms of disease, Euthymol, Menthymos, Gly- 
cozone, Per-oxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), Listerine, 
Sanitas and Zymocide, may be relied upon. 

Consult directions with the preparations, for dosage and 
modes of application. 

2. Sponge the body with a solution of the antiseptic, with 
sufficient frequency and in such strength as to destroy the 
germs upon the surface. 

See directions with the preparation for the strength of 
the solution. 

3. Destroy the germicidal property of all excretions, 
by mixing with them hot water, two and a halt gallons, 
copperas four pounds, carbolic acid four pounds : or cop- 
peras ten pounds, in a bucket of water ; or sulphate of 
zinc eight ounces, carbolic acid one ounce, water three 
gallons. A teacupful for a bed-pan or chamber vessel 
each time it is used ; pour some frequently into the 
water closet. For drains, ditches and sewers, one pound 
of chloride of lime is sufficient for a thousand gallons of 
running sewage. 

4. Render the air of the room antiseptic by free venti- 
lation, the admission of the direct rays of the sun, unless 
the condition of the eyes preclude it, and by keeping 



The Go- operative Curatives of Science. 331 

cloths hung in the room wet with Piatt's chlorides, Bromo- 
chloralum, Sanitas, or by spraying Sanitas, or Peroxide of 
Hydrogen in the room. If the room has a fire-place, kin- 
dle a little fire in it two or three times a day, and keep the 
fire-place open. Permangate of potash and oxalic acid, 
each one ounce, moistened with twice the amount of water 
in an open vessel, will emit ozone freely, and maybe used 
in place of the antiseptics named above. 

Reduce to a minimum the possible lodging places of the 
germs, by striping ihe room of carpets, hangings, cur- 
tains, furniture, bric-a-brac, and reduce it to one small 
table, the bed, and one chair for the nurse, unless an inex- 
pensive cot be allowed for changing the patient to, in 
order to have the bed aired and purified. 

6. Disinfect all dishes and eating utensils and clothes 
used by or in contact with the patient, by washing the 
utensils in boiling water, and boiling the clothes not less 
than thirty minutes. 

Of course, young children will have been sent away 
upon the outbreak of the disease, and all through the 
sickness a sheet moisten* d with a disinfectant has been 
hung across the door of the sick room. The article used 
should be the one most agreeable to the patient. 

The nurse has not mingled with the family, and the 
loose wrapper that the mother has worn in the sick-room 
has not been worn about the house. 
Disinfection After Contagious Diseases. 

By this is meant, whether the patient lecovers or dies, 
the same care should be exercised to prevent infection by 
the disease germs. 

1. Destroy by fire all inexpensive clothing, carpets, cur- 
tains or other fabrics, except such as are washable. 



33 2 Home Treatment with the Cell-Suits. 

2. All washable articles should be boiled from twenty to 
forty minutes. 

3. All beds, mattresses, bolsters, pillows, carpets, rugs, 
stuffing of chairs and cushions to be opened and submitted 
to the action of hot steam fifteen minutes. 

If there are no facilities for this, then fumigate them 
thoroughly twenty-four hours with burning sulphur in tin 
cans or earthen jars placed in water or on bricks. Allow 
one pound of sulphur to every 1,000 cubic feet of air space 
(found by multiplying height, breadth and length of the 
room together). Cover metalic surfaces, which will tar- 
nish with a mixture of tallow, oil and whiting. Hang 
blankets and spreads on a line in the middle of the room. 
Open closets and drawers, paste strips of paper around the 
windows, doors, and all cracks, including the fireplace. 
Pour a little alcohol over each can of sulphur and light the 
one furthest from the door first, then the others, and hasten 
out of the poisonous fumes, close the door and paste strips 
of paper around it on the outside. After twenty-four 
hours open and ventilate twenty-four hours longer. 

Another method is, after closing the room as above have 
in an earthern vessel a mixture of equal parts of common 
salt and black oxide of manganese, one ounce of each 10 
every 100 cubic feet of air space. To each ounce of this 
mixture add one ounce of a fifty per cent, solution of sul- 
phuric acid in water, and close the door at once for twenty- 
four hours, then ventilate twenty-four hours as before. 

4. Wash the floor with a 1 to 1,000 corrosive sublimate 
solution, or with Sanitas fluid. Spray the same over the 
walls and into all crevices of windows, doors, etc., and 
wash all the furniture with it alter the upholstery has been 
removed. The corrosive sublimate solution is extremely 
-poisonous . 



The Co-operative Curatives of Science. 333 

5. Tear the paper from the walls and burn it, and white- 
wash thoroughly. 

6. Wash picture frames, brass and iron work, etc., with 
Sanitas, unless covered with the preparation previously 
named. 

7. Leave the windows open for two days, then scrub 
the floors with soap and soda ; whitewash again and paint. 

This is thorough disinfection, because it reaches the chief 
sources of danger, namely the floors, walls and furniture. 

Disinfecting Preparations. 

In selecting these, the object has been to secure — 

1. Thorough efficiency. 

2. As great economy as practicable. 

3. Availability. 

No doubt some excellent preparations have been passed 
by, but the best has been done that could be with the in- 
formation at hand. 

Bromo Chloralum. 

Bromo Chemical Company, 241 and 243 West Broad- 
way, New York city. Saline, antiseptic, alterative, styptic 
and germicide. 

Has no odor of its own, but is a strong deodorant. 

Non-poisonous. 50 cents per pint. 
Bromine is an inexpensive by-product of the manufac- 
ture of salt, selling at seventy cents a pounds, and in solu- 
tions containing one part in weight to about eight hundred 
of water, it may be used freely without affecting anything 
it may touch. A few quarts will thoroughly deodorize an 
ordinary house. The undiluted bromine is strongly cor- 
rosive, and if it touches the skin causes a painful burn. 
Cinnamon, oil of, is a very useful antiseptic, while the 
powder is a valuable astringent. 



334 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

Peculiarly valuable in cholera, dysintery, diarrhea, etc. 

EUTHYMOL. 

Parke, Davis & Co., Detroit, Mich. Antiseptic, non- 
poisonous. Used as a spray, or internally in doses of one 
teaspoonful three or four times a day. 

An excellent and agreeable substitute for iodoform and 
carbolic acid, and equal in antiseptic power. Must not 
be exposed to cold. 75 cents per pint. 

Chloro-Phenique. 

Phenique Chemical Company, St. Louis, Mo. A chem- 
ical compound of chlorine and phenic acid. Non-poison- 
ous, non-irritant. 

Suitable for use in all cases externally where carbolic 
acid would be serviceable, and without its danger. One 
of its chief merits is its pain-relieving quality. 

For burns, scalds, lacerated wounds and painful contu- 
sions it is of great value. Price, per bottle, $1. 

Glycozone. 

Is chemically pure glycerine and ozone, not mixed, but 
chemically combined under peculiar conditions. 

Charles Marchand, 28 Prince Street, New York Four 
ounces $1.00. 

It stimulates healthy granulations, acts in a general way 
like Hydrozone, which see, but much slower. Must not 
be taken with any drug, nor come in contact with any 
metal, but be used with glass or hard rubber. 

Hydrogen, Peroxide of (Medicinal), 15 vol. Solution. 

Charles Marchand, 28 Prince Street, New York. Four 
ounces 50 cents. 

This is a 4.5 per cent, solution of pure H=0, which yields 
fifteen times its own volume of nascent oxygen. 



The Co-operative Curatives of Science. 335 

Its effect is like that of Hydrozone, which see, but is only 
half as strong. One of the most valuable discoveries of 
modern chemistry. 

Hydrozone. 

Yields thirty times its own volume of nascent oxygen, 
aud is very nearly like ozone. It destroys vegetable mi- 
crobes, stimulates healing granulations, and instantly anni- 
hilates the germs in old sores, while it has no effect upon 
healthy tissues. 

As a germicide, its strength is — 

3 times greater than bichloride of mercury. 

5 times greater than nitrate of silver. 

10 times greater than iodine. 

24 times greater than bromine. 

28 times greater than iodoform. 

100 times greater than muriatic acid. 

128 times greater than carbolic acid. 

140 times greater than permanganate of potash. 

300 times greater than boracic acid. 

360 times greater than lactic acid. 

And is perfectly harmless, while many of these are pois- 
onous. It is the great pus destroyer of modern chemistry. 
Must not be injected into a closed cavity without a vent, 
because its rapid elimination of oxygen would distend it 
painfully, and perhaps dangerously. Should be used in 
such cases with a double catheter. 

Charles Marchand, 28 Prince Street, New York. Small 
size bottle 50 cents. 

LlSTERINE. 

Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Mo. 75 cents 
per fourteen ounces. 

A fragrant antiseptic, with a germicidal potency equal 



33 6 Home Treatment with the Cell- Salts. 

to a five per cent, solution of carbolic acid ; non-irritating 
and non-poisonous, and a pleasant deodorizer. 

It is important to obtain it in the original package, as 
proved by the test purchases made by the manufacturers 
in 1893, of twenty-five cents worth of Listerine from each 
of 479 Chicago druggists. Twenty-four gave Listerine 
diluted with water or glycerine, and 204 gave an imitation 
containing no Listerine. 

Menthymos. 

Fragrant, harmless, equal in antiseptic power to Lister- 
ine, Euthymol or Zymocide. It has the great advantage 
of being a powder, easily soluble in water, and mailable 
to any part of the world. One teaspoonful in a pint of 
water makes a pleasant solution for wash, gargle, enema 
or for stomach administration. 

A. E. Webber, 154 State Street, Springfield, Mass. Two 
ounces by mail, 50 cents. 

Pasteurine. 

A strong germicide, a deodorant, non-irritating and 
pleasant to the nose and taste. 

Belongs to the class embracing Listerine, Zymocide, 
etc., and may be substituted for them when more conven- 
ient. 

Jno. T. Milliken & Co , 

St. Louis, Missouri. 

Platt's Chlorides. 

Henry B. Piatt, 36 Piatt Street, N. Y. Quart bottles, 
50 cents. 

An odorless, colorless, powerful disinfectant, of wide 
reputation, as it has been in use many years. 



The Co-operative Curatives of Science. 337 

Sanitas Disinfecting Candles. 

American & Continental Sanitas Company, 636 to 642 
West 55th Street, New York city. Plain 20 cents. Wa- 
tered Jacketed 25 cents. 

Each candle contains one pound of sulphur, and is suffi- 
cient for the disinfection of from 1,000 to 1,200 cubic feet 
of air in a confined space. Much more convenient than 
the sulphur powder. 

Soda, Bi-carbonate of. 

A Russian surgeon claims that a two per cent, solution 
of bi-carbonate of soda, chemically pure, stops inflamma- 
tion and the production of pus more rapidly than any 
other antiseptic. 

Sanitas. 

The American & Continental Sanitas Company, 636 to 
642 West 55th Street, New York city. 

Sanitas does not hide the foul smells of decomposition 
by an overpowering odor of its own, but it generates oxy- 
gen in its most active torm, and destroys all offensive mat- 
ter and disease germs, and is free from the dangers attend- 
ing the use of the poisonous metallic salts employed as 
disinfectants. A powerful air purifier, but not a consumer 
of oxygen. It is prepared by oxidizing the essential oils 
of the pine and the eucalyptus. 

Where contagious diseases exist, Sanitas may be used 
freely. For ordinary purposes, Sanitas fluid is the best. 
The powder may be used in the same way as other disin- 
fecting powders. 

Zymocide. 

Reed & Carnrick, Manufacturing Chemists, New York. 
Eight ounces 75 cents; fourteen ounces $1. 



338 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

Cleansing, healing, colorless, non-poisonous, non-irrita- 
ting liquid antiseptic. Will not stain or injure the most 
delicate fabric. A deodorizer in all suppurative and offen- 
sive discharges. Applied as a spray, douche or gargle. 
As an anti-ferment in cholera infantum, summer complaint, 
typhoid fever and digestive disorders. 

One of the most elegant preparations ever offered. 

The mistake should not be made of substituting a deo- 
dorizer for a disinfectant. An odor may be masked with- 
out the destruction of the attendant disease germs. The 
germs themselves may have no odor, therefore the danger 
may be just as great when the sense of smell detects noth- 
ing amiss, as when it is almost suffocated with effluvia. 

Other disinfectants are here named in the order of their 
strength, but the weaker should not be relied upon in se- 
rious diseases. 

Corrosive sublimate, 64 grains to the gallon. 

Carbolic acid, 5 per .cent, solution. 

Bromine, 1 pound to 200 gallons. 

Permanganate of potash, 17I- ounces to 200 gallons. 

Chloride of lime, 4 ounces to the gallon. 

Sulphate of iron, ii pounds to the gallon. 

Sulphate of zinc, 4 ounces to the gallon. 

Common salt, 2 ounces to the gallon. 

STIMULANTS. 

Stimulants are substances that arouse vital action. That 
they have a place in the physical economy is evident from 
the impossibility of distinguishing' the dividing line be- 
tween the effect of proper foods and that of weak stimu- 
lants. 

It might also be inferred from the fact that man is con- 
stituted not only to act in response to, but to develop intel- 
lectual strength by mental stimulants. 



The Co-operative Curatives of Science. 339 

It might also be argued from the fact that men instinct- 
ively resort to stimulants in certain conditions, as do ani- 
mals likewise. 

But this can never justify the use of intoxicating drinks 
as a beverage 5> nor the habitual table use of condiments. 

The physiological effect of stimulants is to increase the 
red-blood cells for a few days, but unless fresh material 
for them to live upon is also supplied they soon perish, 
proving conclusively that the normal use for stimulation is 
transient only. 

The weakness of the idea of toning the system by so- 
called tonics is just here. 

Their tonicity consists in their power of stimulation. 
But as the system loses its susceptibility to feel that stimu- 
lation with every repetition of the dose, and as the drug 
gives no nutriment to the cells first proliferated, it follows 
that no really tonic effect is possible. 

What seems such in some cases is the first effect of stim- 
ulation supported and made permanent by added nutrition. 

There is a class of extreme cases in which the ordinary 
effects of stimulation are overborne and benefit secured, 
e. g., whiskey by the pint for snake bites, in which the 
alcohol acts as a germicide ; brandy or whiskey, a pint or 
more in twenty-four hours, in some cases of double pneu- 
monia, etc., in which the alcohol acts as a force food and 
as a germicide, and its stimulation supports (temporarily) 
the vital energies. 

But as a rule — 

It is only when the vital powers need to be aroused tem- 
porarily that their use should be permitted. 

Capsicum, or red pepper, is a pure stimulant, by far the 
best and safest for use under nearly all circumstances, and 
is a powerful antiseptic. 



34 o Rome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

Mustard, externally, comes next ; and there is scarcely 
any form of depression that cannot be more safely and suc- 
cessfully met by one or both of these than by any drug or 
drugs of the materia medica. 

The capsicum may be used in from one to three-grain 
doses, repeated according to the urgency of the symptoms 
from one to six hours. 

The mustard, in the form of plasters, dry rubs, or in 
baths deserves far more general use than it has, e. g., in 
the determination of blood to a part, the application of a 
mustard plaster to its immediate vicinity, and as soon as 
the surface reddens thoroughly, that removed and another 
just beyond its further border, and so on, until an extrem- 
ity is reached, will often remove the most stubborn cases 
of congestion. 

RELAXANTS. 

Relaxants are substances that loosen the texture of the 
fibres of the tissues, and are useful in rigid conditions. 
The warm bath is one of the best. Ladies' slipper and 
lobelia are the best herbal relaxants. 

Lobelia is decried by Allopaths because, they claim, that 
in two or three instances in the history of medicine it has 
had a fatal effect, but there is no positive proof of a single 
instance, while there is positive proof of fatal results in 
thousands of cases from drugs that they prescribe freely 
every day, e. g., who does not know that morphine has 
slain its thousands. Morphine is a relaxant, but the fur- 
ther its effects extend the more disturbed do the pulsations 
become. On the other hand, the more pronounced the 
effect of lobelia, the more regular does the pulse become.

CHAPTER VII. 



THE INDEPENDENT AND THE CO-OPERATIVE CURATIVES OF CHRISTIAN FAITH. 

This book was first announced to the public as in course 
of preparation in June, 1896, but for various reasons was 
not given to the printer until June 7, 1897. 

Notwithstanding present haste to issue it, I cannot allow 
it to close without a brief final chapter upon "The Inde- 
pendent and The Co-operative Curatives of Christian 
Faith." 

The best statement of The Independent Curative is found 
in James 5:13-15 : 

" Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church ; and 
let them pray over him. anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord : 
and the prayer of faith sha!l save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him 
up." 

The doctrine is simply this : 

The praver of faith shall save the sick. But inasmuch 
as we "know not what to pray for as we ought," i. e. r 
whether it is our privilege to pray in faith for recovery, 
God informs us by a certain process explained in Romans 
8:26: "The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with 
groanings (sighings) which cannot be uttered." That is, 
the Holy Spirit within us helps our pleadings, impels to 
vehement wrestlings for the desired good, and whenever 
that Spirit-helped intercession is felt, it is God's personal 
assurance that it is " according to His will" (verse 27) 
that this boon shall be granted upon the one condition of 
the faith of the supplicant. 



The Independent and the Co-operative Curatives, Etc. 343 

That this doctrine produces accordant facts I KNOW 
by more than one personal experience, but notably by the 
healing of my lameness of twenty-five years' standing, as 
narrated in — 

"My Twenty-fifth Year Jubilee," 
published in 1875-. 

That it was made the subject of ridicule by many is true ; 
but I wish to write in this, my latest work, that, while 
there are some slight matters in that narrative that proba- 
bly would not have been stated in just the words they were 
had they been written some years later, yet no fact was 
misstated ; and after twenty years of experience, and much 
investigation of the physical, psychical and religious prin- 
ciples involved, I KNOW, as well as I know the fact ot 
my conversion, that my cure was an act of Divine healing, 
independent of the use of natural remedial agents. 

Furthermore, I am positively certain, that the same prin- 
ciples and methods of reasoning by which it was sought to 
be explained upon natural principles, if applied to per- 
sonal religious experience, would unchristianize every 
Christian who now lives or ever has lived, if accepted. 

Note the doctrine well — its limitations and its safeguard. 
God's will is the arbiter. That will — disclosed by the 
Holy Spirit in the heart of the sufferer — is the personal 
encouragement to the act of faith. 

It is useless to inquire why He selects one, and passes 
by the multitude. I only know that it is not because of 
the superior piety, talents or influence of the chosen ones ; 
but the positive elements that determine His choice must 
remain unknown in this life. 

The practical application of the subject in a domestic 
medical work is simply this, viz. : It is right for the suf- 
ferer to offer the testing prayer to see if it receives the in- 



344 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 

tercessional help, without which the prayer for cure should 
be changed to a prayer that the affliction may be sancti- 
fied to the soul's good, and blessed to the good of others ; 
but with which — 

"To doubt would be di.Tovalty, 
To falter would be sin."" 

King Asa "in his disease sought not the Lord, but to the physicians.'' 
"And Asa slept with his fathers."— 2 Chron. lfi:12-13. 

The Co-operative Helps of Christian Faith in- 
volve the same principles of God's sovereign will offering 
the privilege, and man's faith personal! v and consciously 
claiming it, but instead of receiving the help without the 
intervention of naturally curative agents, it is expected 
through such means. Sometimes with no specially sug- 
gested ones ; at other times with the means clearly defined 
and imperative. In either case there is a curative effi- 
ciency displayed far beyond the mere encouragement of 
expectancy of relief, yet, may be, quite indefinite in meas- 
ure, or may include complete recovery. 

The Christian should never fail to seek this help. Its 
workings are amid the primal movements of cell-forma- 
tion just where life lays its hand upon insensate matter, and 
bids it to live. Hence, its help is radical. 

But the seeking should always be in the same spirit in 
which His independent help is sought — not with resigna- 
tion, for there is no room for resignation unless the peti- 
tion is denied — but with a spirit of consecrated subjection 
that will at once become resignation upon occasion. 

" In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. . . . Then he turned 
his face to the wall and prayed." . . . And Isaiah was sent to him with 
this message : " I have heard thy prayer, and have seen thy tears ; behold, 
I will heal thee." . . . "And Isaiah said, take a lump of figs. And 
they took and laid it on the boil, (probably malignant carbuncle), and 
he recovered." 2 Kings. 20: 1, 2, 5, 7.
